Etsy Store!

I posted some more things on Etsy. Not much, but I can now say my store is open!:)
Go here!! And tell me what you think. Really! I've never done this before, so if something looks funny I'm depending on you to tell me!:)

Ta-Da!




My new boots! I love them! Although it's been a bit of a challenge to learn to walk in heels!:) Now I"m as tall as my brothers!;)

Alter the Ending

Yes, I am alive! I am considering hiring someone to do my homework so I have time to sew. (I’m kidding… maybe) I have so many sewing ideas building up in my head right now, but no time to execute them.

Here are some photos of my nephew and the lovely Fall foliage. What do you guys think about the bigger pictures?

Took me forever to finish these. These sat in a pile for about a month before I finally hemmed them.

Went to see Fame yesterday! I loved it!

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.

Swallowed in the Sea

Today is a random little post. I promise I have been sewing. I just haven’t taken photographs.:)7_14_07-030

I’ve been seeing all these different kinds of Dr. Marten boots lately. Silver, gold, floral. But I haven’t really liked them a whole lot. But these are just awesome! These I love! Donations anyone?:):) 

I watched a movie called ‘Camille’ tonight. I’d never heard of it, but it had James Franco and Sienna Miller in it, so I figured it couldn’t be too bad. It was by no means an A-list movie; it had it’s share of movie gaffs. But, I really liked it. It was cute(so was James Franco;))!

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!:)
