Finally, I started my closet cleaning over the weekend, oh man oh man, the simple project has evolved into something much more complex and headachy. Allow me to elaborate, I’m very “forgetful” or rather, have very selective memory in terms of what I have already. This has become a huge issue over the years as I continue to buy more similar pieces thinking that I actually need them, but in reality, my closets (yes all three of them) are exploding with clothes. As a domino effect, it has made finding anything nearly impossible, which you guessed it, resulted in more mindless buying. I was actually quite upset with myself looking at 50+ identical tank tops, 30+ pairs of denims, and etc etc, the worst part is, that’s only the first closet! I have no doubt that I have what use to be a “California housing down payment” sitting in merely 50 sqft of closet space, umm, kind of reminds me of Carrie from SATC…
As an attempt to sort out what I need and don’t need, I laid out a good amount of clothing articles on the floor. Being a pack rat that I am, its close to mission impossible for me to put things in the give away pile…sigh…
I got this vintage black tulip shaped dress a while ago, but I didn’t know how to wear it because of its below the knee hemline. One night sitting in front of TV, I decided to make a mini dress out of it. Not too bad for my first time I guess :)

Wow.. when did you start sewing??!! Turned out nice! =)
It's actually quite embarrassing, I had the sewing machine sitting on the dinning table for over 2 months now, but still couldn't figure out how to install all the little pieces. So yah, the edge is un-hemmed but thank god to the material of the dress, its actually holding up ok. heehee....
