My ensemble for the day came from this hand painted puppy below...

Check out all the detail up close...

I was obsessed with this fabric paint that was used and loved the colors and the design but as it was it felt a little too polka dotty. I wanted to make the rest of the design pop, so I figured I'd go tunic and make it short.

First step was cutting it right at the edge of the design on the bottom.

I've got some amazing leftover fabric that I will most definitely be using again!!

I prepped the bottom of my new top for sewing a new hem which will be happening oh so shortly...

But first, I wanted to change up the sleeves a bit. Because I wanted the design to be the focal point, I began trimming right beneath the florals on my shoulders which is going to work perfectly in giving them a dainty, handkerchief feel.
