About this pattern

We all have clothes that we love so much, but we can no longer fit in! But instead of throwing them out or replacing them, Amanda Walker shows how to make them look like new again.

Using simple steps and pretty bias binding, she turned a beautifully embroidered dress into a fashionable tunic. You will have a revamped look in no time.

Essentials

  • Old dress
  • Contrasting fabric
  • Bias binding folder
  • Shank buttons
  • Coordinating sewing thread
