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!

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!
