Geneva from A Pair & A Spare share a fun refashion before & after with a thrift store find. A droopy sack of a dress gets turned into mini-dress cuteness. The DIY includes turning the dress around, fitting it to her shape, and cutting the skirt short. What a difference! She shares a quick telling how she did it. Get the DIY how-to.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Love the fabric and design. And you reused the collar. Very creative.
