Thank you Anthropologie...

...For once again inspiring me. I have made these types of felt flowers before but I had never thought of doing this with them...

So 15 minutes and 50 cents of felt later I had my version...


I haven't attached the flowers to the shoes yet because I'm not completely sold on the color. I just worked with what I had. So we'll see what I decide to do.
This is a no-sew project that anyone with felt, hot glue, and scissors can do...really easy.

I also have two more shirts I refashioned and two more that I want to do...hopefully I will have them up here tonight. After that I have to STOP....I get hung up on projects if you haven't noticed. Although doing these tees are money SAVING I need to focus on money MAKING projects :)

I think I will end this post with a quote from my husband...
"Sarah, I love you and I think you are very talented but I also think you are a little crazy."
Ha ha yes I think that sums it up perfectly. Aren't we all a little crazy?

Another One...

Ok, this is my last project today. I was on a roll...


This one came out ok. Don't get me wrong, I would still wear it...I just don't like it as much as the other ones.
I also made a few more of these...

Whats Old is New Again

This afternoon I had a little spare time to myself. I had a sick boy resting, a husband off playing baseball, and a garbage bag full of clothes going to the garage sale stack. I managed to make two cute new shirts out of a few things I was getting rid of...
Of course, like always, I didn't take pictures of every step. This started out as a persimmon colored, long sleeved tee with a high neckline. I cut off the sleeves and made it into a scoop neck tank. I'm a fan of the messy, distressed look so I decided to do a hap hazard box pleat around the neck. I didn't want it looking neat so I left the raw edges and didn't measure the pleats at all. The fabric I used for the pleats is the lining from an old skirt. I really like how it came out and I love the price tag...$0.


I didn't do anything to alter the shape of this tank. The patterned fabric is actually the ties from an old shirt I had that I just cut off. I layed them out and scrunched them up kinda crazy and uneven and then sewed them on. Really, really easy. I love how this one came out too. I can't wait to wear it!

Another Quick Refashion

I have had the shopping bug lately. So, instead of buying something new I refashioned one of my old tank tops into a pretty cool top. Now that I think about it I don't think this is technically a refashion because I'm not altering the tank at all...just embellishing. Whatever it is I like it...

I didn't take a picture of the whole tank because it's really wrinkled and I don't want to get the iron out. :)

Upcycle? Refashion?

I'm not sure of the terms these days. Anyways, I found these shoes when I cleaned out my closet...

I bought them a few years ago because I loved the color (am I the only weirdo that buys stuff just because I love the color or the pattern?). I had never worn them before because I was not a huge fan of the bead baubles so I turned them into this...

Cute, right? Too bad after taking Jackson for a walk in them my heels are now raw :(
Oh well, at least they look cute!
