Last week Jess from craftiness is not optional did another sew along, this time she included a zipper. I was so excited because I've never done a zipper before and I knew she would be the perfect person to teach me.
And, because it's been a while since I've done a refashion I thought it would be fun to do one for this project.
I turned this old skirt into the adorable Charlotte Dress.
I've always loved the pattern on the skirt but it didn't work on my body, so I never really wore it.
I love the turquoise and yellow together.
There it is- my first zipper and it's even an invisible zipper.
I couldn't help myself and made some matching hair flowers.
Thanks Jess, I don't know if I could have made this step without you.

I'm looking forward to working on some more refashions for spring and summer.

I almost followed this same tutorial this weekend, but it seemed too fancy for my beginner set of skills. Yours turned out so beautifully! Now I really want to try this to make an Easter dress for my daughter...so lovely!
so cute!
What a gorgeous little dress! You did such a great job! I've never done a zipper either...scary!
It's perfect for spring! I am loving that color combo. :) I'm glad the zipper was easy for you! hooray for conquering them!
It is lovely! The colour is great, and it's the cutest little dress for the spring and summer!
Way to go with the zipper!!! It's a beautiful dress :)
How adorable!! I love the dress and the color. What an amazing re-design. Very creative and well done. The model is pretty cute, too!
That is the sweetest little dress and model! You did a great job on that zipper, they aren't easy. I love it.

I have yet to do a zipper too. You did a fantastic job! You are giving me courage to try soon...maybe. :)
Great job on turning the skirt into a beautiful dress. The yellow fabric really adds a nice accent to the design. The first zipper is always the hardest:)
It turned out lovely, and great job on the zipper! I also LOVE the colors! I just made a pair of toddler shoes in almost the same shades last night, too cool.
Super cute! I love the colors and the zipper looks perfect!
Awesome! Fantastic job. My first zip was a disaster so well done. :) The colours are gorgeous together too. Thanks for sharing.
