Purple People Eater #2

This was made from a men's shirt from Teresa (thanks!:) She gave me some shirts and a skirt, and this is what I’ve made from them so far. (I have an idea for the skirt, but no lining fabric:() When I dyed this sweater, I didn’t want to waste the dye, even though the box said it was only good for one use. So I just put the shirt in the dye and let it sit there for half a day. After I washed it, it came out looking a little faded in some parts. But I just said it was “vintage.” 032 036036 039 041 045 012037022 033  024

The top of course, you’ve seen before. The pants I made from the shirt arms. I think they’re really cute. I remembered how to make them from a tutorial I had seen awhile back, but I don’t know where that is now.

Some random blog posts that I really like this week. Here, and here and don’t forget here! Check them out!:)

Also, I am in the process of setting up an Etsy store! I’m very excited and hopeful about it!:) I will keep you guys posted.

Run in a Meadow









This started out as a polo shirt. I don't like polo shirts. I very rarely, if ever wear them. But, I loved the flower print on this shirt! I didn't want to just give it away! I made this the same way as I made this pillowcase dress; and how cool is that bias tape?!?!? I've had it for awhile, never having the right project for it. On a whim I picked this out of my stash and put it next to the shirt! In fear of sounding reeaallllly cheesy, it was a match made in heaven!:):) Ok, I'm done! It's just so easy to use cliche's !!:):):)
Now, I need to make one for me! It's fun to make stuff for your nieces, but not when you want to wear it!!!!:):) My niece ,Victoria is modeling her new dress!:)

Cuffed




I was going through the scraps from a project (you'll see it soon:) and was trying to think of something I could make from the cuffs of a mens dress shirt. Here's what I came up with. I'm not so sure I like it or will wear it, but... I have three more to practice on! :):) What do you guys think?? Does it have potential or is it absurd?:)

P.s. Don't mind the stray threads! :0
