I adore yard sales, the excitement of finding something that I never knew I needed for a dollar is one of the best feelings ever. I have tried to not “yard sale” this season and work on reducing my stash, but last weekend was my neighborhood sale, there were yard sales everywhere and I could not resist! I came home with a carload of books, clothes, games, and Tupperware. The real treasure I found was this souvenir dress from Mexico.
It sadly is to small for me, but I have fabulous plans for this one: I think that I will make it into a smock apron! I plan to cut the sleeves off and enlarging the arm holes a bit (I don’t want to lose any of that embroidery), open the back up entirely, and shorten it to a more apron-y length, then I can just add bias binding to all the cut edges and ties to the back and ta-da and new apron.
Now to decide what color to use for the binding: red, turquoise, pink or green. Let me know what you think, leave me a comment and help me decide :)

I love red...it is my color. However, I think turquoise binding would make a much better complement to this repurposed dress. Susan
