Day 343: Fab Foodie Dress
I’ve had today’s piece for quite a while. I really wasn’t quite sure what I’d be able to do with it! :/ By the way, don’t let that fence behind me fool ya. My neighbors can totally see me when I do my before pics outside. They probably think I’m insane! 🙂 Anywho…back to this insane muumuu! I chose it for its cute foodie print. 🙂 Sadly, this thing is just flippin’ huge on me! I decided to take it in from the back…a LOT! On my dress form it went! Then, I sewed a single seam down my pinned line. This left me loads of extra fabric to snip…
Day 323: In the Details Top
Today’s piece began as a frumpy black sun dress. It isn’t very exciting, is it? It had a little problem as well! Oh dear! The bottom crocheted detailing had begun to unravel and rip! :/ I grabbed my scissors, and snipped it off altogether. Then, I made another cut to the dress. Next, I gave what was about to be my new top a new hem! Okay, so what was once a dress was now a shirt. Big deal, right? But, HA! I’m not quite finished yet! 🙂 I took a piece of the original crocheted bottom and pinned it on the front of my new top in a big…
Day 231: Boldly Going Nowhere Top
Today’s piece looks like it might have been some sort of uniform in a previous life. Neither that dress nor my locks were looking too great. :/ And style wasn’t the only thing missing from this sad dress. The worst thing about this dress was its shapelessness, so I got to pinning! Then, I got to sewing! Then, I got to snipping! Now that frumpy dress is a cute new top that works perfectly with my pencil skirt! I put my uncooperative hair back in a snood, and was ready for my day! 🙂 Cheers!
Day 216: That Little Black Dress
When I found this dress in a big bag o’ refashionables from Revente’s Last Call, it was anything but little, but it certainly was black. This just won’t do! I decided to turn this thing into a cute little black dress for an evening of Karaoke! 🙂 As some of you know, I’m a bit of a bad movie buff. Some of you might have seen the complete and utter flop that was Shock Treatment, a sort of follow-up to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. If you haven’t seen it, don’t worry. You really aren’t missing out on much. 🙂 But…there is this one little song that kept running through…
Day 212: A’dress’ing a Too-Big Tee! :)
It seems like every time I volunteer at an event where I’m required to wear a Tshirt for said event, I always get stuck with a tee that’s a good 5 sizes larger than the one I requested. :/ This includes today, when I showed up at The World Beer Festival. It looks like Erin snagged the last medium tee. They didn’t even have smalls. :/ Luckily, I anticipated my bad luck, and came armed! I cut each of the sleeves of my tee into strips, like so: I stretched out all of the strips, and tied them in front of me. I turned the whole thing around, and was…
