Fun with fabrics! In this diy video, we will create a whimsical patchwork summer dress from scratch (I'm stepping out of my box here lol). We start with a tank top to use as a pattern. Then we piece lots of beautiful upcycled materials together to create a lovely boho composition of patchwork and trim details. At the end of the video I will unbox the dress sent to me by Gina, for the ugly dress challenge, enjoy!
