By On March 15, 2011 · 5 Comments

Tomorrow my daughter’s preschool class is having a St. Patrick’s Day party and everyone has to wear a green shirt. Over the past week, we’ve gone from her insisting on wearing her only green (too small) gumdrop shirt to her requesting an entirely new outfit. She rarely asks me to make her [...]

wardrobe refashion: hippie shirt

By On November 16, 2010 · Leave a Comment

It occurred to me as I got dressed this morning that I never blogged about one of my favorite refashions: the hippie shirt. I love the look of these style tunics, but they’re not the most flattering for me. I really need a defined waist.

fabric beach balls!

By On December 11, 2009 · 3 Comments

These are great balls for playing indoors. I’ve made one for my daughter and a few for her friends. Everyone seems to love them. This one was a bit of a challenge when I realized that I didn’t have a lot of eight-year-old-boy-ish fabric in my stash. I grabbed a few men’s [...]

wardrobe refashion: shirt to apron

By On July 29, 2009 · 4 Comments

Here’s the third shirt from last week’s garage sale purchases. These big, flouncy shirts came in style right after I had my daughter and I refused to buy any. I had just gotten out of maternity clothes. I didn’t want to buy shirts that made me look pregnant!

wardrobe refashion: floral shirt

By On June 28, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Not sure if this qualifies as a refashion or if it is more of an alteration. Do I need a new category?

Originally, I thought I’d take it in at the waist, but the front has a bunch of tiny little pleats. I was worried they might look funny [...]

little bits

I’ve been having more fun with college sweatshirts.

I’ve been playing around with men’s dress shirts.

I tried mending a nylon jersey decal. Not easy.

my faux burberry scarf

By On May 6, 2009 · 1 Comment

Remember when I mentioned that some of that stash flannel was going to become a faux Burberry scarf? It was a really easy project and great for some instant sewing gratification.

The original piece was about 14 x 43 inches. I cut it in half and joined the 7 inch ends [...]
