Living Through Your Letters

Remember that eyelet fabric I talked about a few posts back? Like I mentioned, it was quite a steal! And I didn't want to make it into just anything. I used one of Hilary Duff's patterns (M5804), with the exception of how I cut the skirt. I didn't intend on it being this short (maybe some tights and knee high boots??:)) but I was working with what fabric I had.
I'm not so sure I LOVE it. All the gathering at the top........ I don't know. But, I do LIKE it!:)

Vested Disinterest

This used to be a pair of jeans, that became a skirt, that have now become a vest! This is one of those projects that I don't particularly like, because I know every little thing that went wrong! And believe me, there were many! Don't quite know what I'll wear it with; or if I'll wear it at all!:) I tend to do that with projects I don't like; they sit in the back of a closet for a long time!:)
The pattern is vintage, Simplicity 7592. The side panels are some old fabric from my aunt. I don't know where I got the top button (yes it's different from the others:)) but the rest I cut off of a dress from 5 or 6 years ago! And the fraying and odd pieces of fabric are from the original skirt construction. I just put the pattern pice over whatever was there, hoping it would come out slightly deconstructed-looking:)
On a side note, how cool is this shirt??? I almost considered buying it!!:):)

Fit to be Tied

This an idea I've been thinking about. I've been wanting to do some t-shirt projects (instant gratification:):)) this one took about 20 minutes. I really like the lacing, kind of romantic looking. But this is just a rough first project. Not at all what I want the finished product to look like! I'll probably try to make another, as soon as my pile of unfinished projects gets smaller! I always want to start another project before I finish the one I'm working on! But hey, that's what closets and drawers are for, right?!? No? Oh!:):)
Saturday I went with my brother and sister-in-law to some (ok, 30) garage sales on the Route 127 yard sale. Most of them were wiped out, but I snagged a shoebox full of zippers . I know,like I need more zippers (I don't)!! But, for that price, I'm taking 'em! And another pattern!:)
