Day 18 – Got this skirt at Goodwill. I hemmed it up to a shorter length but it was still missing something so I took all the length I had chopped off and turned them into little suspenders! I think it turned out pretty cute. The top is actually altered also!
Day 19 – Got this dress for a buck. Its a sickly sweet floral print and now I shall be wearing it all the time.
Day 20 – The skirt was made from Mccalls 3740 and altered this thrift store find top too. 


Day 21 – Got this XL Banana Republic dress for $3
Day 22 – Another boring day of scrubs so I’ll just repeat this picture since I looked exactly like this… cept my hair was all crazy after 14 hours in the ICU which was actually quite intense!
Day 23 – Got this awesome teal denim skirt and just shortened it up!
More Self-stitsched September updates coming soon!

These came out great. Is it difficult to make these drastic alterations on your own? I am very petite as well and I would love to learn how to do that.
Wow–I love the suspender skirt! That is great! You are amazing at refashioning clothes! I need to do this more often!
Awesome outfit refashions, I especially love that yellow dress and that circle skirt and the blue dress =D
All of them are so cute, and you are just so stinkin’ adorable! Happy sewing!
Suspenders – ADORABLE! Question for ya. On the yellow dress – or anything with sleeves – how do you go about taking up that under the arm area – do you just sew up the side and then down the sleeve or do you get more complicated than that?
It’s never too late! I love your style. You’ve given me a lot of ideas too!
Such cute outfits! Except I don’t think the scrubs count – could you add some front pleating to the trousers and a bow to the top? I’m sure no one will mind…
haha i know I had to write in an exception on my SSS pledge that I had to wear scrubs
That strapless floral dress is totally cute!
