When all else fails

When all else fails, and your closet offers nothing...wear handmade!
I made this dress out of two thrifted sheets. I love it! Its rainbow and green. What more can a girl ask for? (Ok, Mr. Adventure "to have the dress on the ground" does not count -_-) 
I made the necklace too :) And yeah, I'm still wearing my leggings. And I really didn't plan the hearts on the back. I ran out of sheet (or miscalculated?) and thus hearts were needed to protect my bum. :)
If you think this dress is super duper amazing, next week I am starting a handmade dress giveaway, 10 dresses in 10 weeks. 

I'm thinking of buying a copy of the amazing Seasoned Quarterly this month. They are having an awesome giveaway here! Also, I'm still linking up with Delirious Rhapsody

your giveaway should be fun!

and i actually think it's cute how the hearts are alternating from top to bottom on either side of your dress.

i really like the green pattern -- makes me want to hunt for four-leaf clovers! and your mister sounds like mine: "that sweater looks amazing on you! the only way it could look better is if it were on the floor." =)

That dress looks great on you! You've really figured out how to get a good fit. I'm still working on that...
