Success, thy name is UPCYCLING!

Great news. I just finished the cover up and it totally works! I'm finally satiated with the cover up challenge.




What you're seeing is an old, stained white collared shirt of elle's which she was goodwilling. I grabbed it, sliced some things off, including the collar, the buttons, and the permanently coffee stained belly section. Then, using the remants of jersey sheets (I know, I know, terrible fabric to work with! but it's the only white I have!) I added the 'skirt', took in the side, replaced the buttons, and VOILA! I have a coverup fit for a Duck destined lady.

frustration, thy name is cover-up

I want to make a coverup for the beach... and it's just NOT happening. So, I've taken to drastic measures.

First, I got these 2 ideas: one for a pinky, girly cover up. The next was for a tube kinda coverup. Both, FAIL.
Now, I'm working on a shirt top that elle was goodwilling. I'm hoping to upcycle it to a cover up that I can wear next week. I have 2 hours to get this done I'm calling it quits and buying one.
