It has been so long since I have posted anything and a super long time since I have sewn anything. And I know this because when I was trying to reload my bobbin, I couldn't remember how to do it. It could also be that I have been in school for the past couple of months and I have a little bit of brain fry. But either way, I do have a new reconstruction for you! Sort of. Unfortunately I don't have much time for a long, pretty, witty post. So, here is my fast and the furious reconstruction.
About a month ago, I went to the Goodwill and pick up a really cute sweater dress. I loved the color and the scalloped bottom and sleeves. The unfortunate part was the armpit area was extremely huge and baggy. So, I did a little bit of thinking, a little bit of cutting, and a little bit of sewing.

With the boot sock and leg warmer trend, at an all time high, how could I resist making my sleeves into matching leg warmers. And of course, I will have to wear a cardigan with the outfit. For some reason, I don't feel right in the winter without layers.
