Lookie what she’s making: A year of dress refashions for $1 a day

April 8, by Anne Weaver. 6 Comments

Lookie what New Dress a Day is making!  She has embarked on a year-long refashioning project aimed at rejuvenating her creative spirit.  She’s refashioning a new garment every day out of thrift store and tag sale finds, and she’s given herself a budget of just $1 a day.    Check out her blog to see all that she has made so far!  I can’t wait to see what she makes next.
