Dismal

Here it is! Proof I have not disappeared!:) I do think I have lost my creativity mojo, though. I’ve kind of hit a dead spot, inspiration wise. I was so excited about my break from school, cuz then I would have time to sew. And now, I have nothing to show for it but a few projects. I have some ideas, but no desire to make them. Oh, well. Hopefully I’ll get some motivation soon.

This shirt is made from a men's Aeropostale button up shirt. I just used this pattern as a base, then added some details. The chest pocket on the original shirt became a pocket on this one. I thought the dog was  really cute. However, it turned out a little smaller than I wanted, so I will probably end up selling it.Purple 013 Purple 016 Purple 015 Purple 014

  9. Laura,

    Are you kidding? Thanks so much for stopping by!

    (1) SO cute! The shirt you made is.
    (2) I love the fact that you moved the shirt pocket down for a hand pocket. Great idea.
    (3) I hear you on the inspiration desert. For me, sometimes it's not the fact that I can't find ideas (they're everywhere on these internets)--it's as if I've lost all ability to muster my strength to create them. I'd rather waste precious hours of my life on facebook instead. (@_@)

    Awaiting new DIYs from you soon!
