Friend of Yay! DIY, Chad, brought this fabulous site to our attention yesterday (and ladies, he’s single…call him) – and a full 24 hours later we’re still in the throes of obsession.
Marisa of New Dress a Day turns muumuus into must-haves! (Images courtesy of New Dress a Day)
Los Angeles-based Marisa started “New Dress a Day” while in the midst of a creative funk. Her mission? Take her favorite hobby of scouring vintage stores for fabulous pieces to supplement her wardrobe and add one big twist: forgo all regular shopping and instead, create a new dress every day based on these thrifty finds. That means muumuus, nightgowns, oversized shirts, even pants – all get turned into fabulous pieces. And they are fabulous! And that’s not all – she’s limited herself to $365 for the entire project – so each outfit can only cost a buck!
Follow Marisa and her year-long adventure over at New Dress A Day! And look out for a special “11 Questions for Crafty People” with Marisa soon. Personally, this is exactly the inspiration I needed to learn to use this sewing machine once and for all!

Haha, I am just now seeing this post, i appreciate the shout out. I saw her blog on Treehugger.com, i don’t know anything about dresses but i really liked the concept and thought she was really cute
Thanks for reading the blog everyday, Chad. JK. Seriously – no worries. We actually interviewed her last week and she was really, really nice. Should I ever meet her in person, I will tell her you said “Hey, gurl.”
5P1tO2 I’m not esaliy impressed. . . but that’s impressing me!
I love this concept. I recently stopped watching tv and have been sewing up a storm with the extra time I’ve gained.
Much more productive. :8″D
Looking forward to this interview!!
