Changing over the closet as spring and summer approach is also a time to reassess what items should be packed away for the next seasonal change over.
Three and a half years ago I made a dress with the red sweatshirt fabric used in this sweatshirt project. I haven't worn the dress all that much over the past couple of winters and now that I'm supposed to wear a scoliosis back brace I don't know how I would manage to put it on. An oversized sweatshirt is more my preference now-a-days.
I was able to harvest most of the fabric from the dress with the exception of the sleeves. The sleeves and a small portion of the bodice front were cut from left over scrap fabric from this sweatpants project.
