Strapless Burlap

That girl would look good in anything, even a burlap sack... ok that may not be the case for me, but it was still fun participating in an upcycling event hosted by Joe Bean Coffee Roasters, Thread, and Greentopia!

The rules were simple, pick up a burlap coffee sack from Joe Bean and make it into something fabulous. I chose a strapless dress, because I'm oh so classy. My favorite part is the herringbone exposed zipper in the back, too cute right?

Note to self: when sewing burlap remember to add ample seam allowance, it will unravel and burlap does NOT stretch... (not pictured, me from behind with the zipper not being able to zip the last 3 inches up... awesome)
