    An Anthropologie-Inspired Refashion: From White Dress to Clay Top

    January 15, 2020 / 118 Comments

    As any salesperson at my local Anthropologie could probably tell you, I visit frequently, but never actually buy anything. Anthropologie stores are just so….freaking pretty.

    Day 365: Kitschy Dress

    June 29, 2012 / 43 Comments

    Today’s piece is a fun & kitschy handmade house dress.  ðŸ™‚ Okay…I’m not a fan of the brown & white print (too tablecloth-y!) and this is obviously too big for me.  Let’s see what we can do about all that, shall we? First, I threw the dress into a dye bath with my good friend, Scarlet.  ðŸ™‚ After about 40 minutes in the dye and a rinse & dry, my new dress was ready to be taken in! I decided…

    Day 364: All Tied Up Top

    June 28, 2012 / 24 Comments

    Today’s piece isn’t exactly fashion-forward, but it has sparkles to spare! Alright.  The only thing I like about this top is the subtle glittery print.  Time for some serious choppage! You can see how I’ve laid out one of my best-fitting tanks as a template for the shape of my future top.  Are you wondering why I’ve left so much room on the sides?  ðŸ™‚ I cut a bunch of 1″ish strips down each side, then tied them together! This…

    Day 363: All the Angles Dress

    June 27, 2012 / 22 Comments

    When I found today’s dress at one of my fave $1 thrift stores,  I was stoked!  Check out the amazeballs print!  🙂 You’re looking at a totally 80’s shoulderpadded number that desperately needs a facelift!  Time for a Nip/Tuck! First, I made a big chop! Then, I took in the whole thing about 2″ on each side. After cutting off the excess material, I folded the top raw edge over twice and stitched it down, leaving about a 1″ gap. …

    Day 362: Mairi Shrug

    June 26, 2012 / 30 Comments

    Today’s piece comes from a land down under!  And yes – You’d better run.  You’d better take cover!  🙂 You haven’t even seen the best part yet! I pretty much died laughing when I opened Mairi’s package.  She certainly gave me quite a challenge!  🙂 Alright…as I’m not into Victorian Cosplay, these unmentionables were going to require a complete overhaul! First, I reached into my dye stash and pulled out this: Into a nice, hot bath of dye the bloomers…

    Day 359: Scrap-Busting Dress

    June 23, 2012 / 28 Comments

    For today’s piece, we need to go back to Day 117 of this lil’ blog.  🙂 For those of you who were wondering what was going happen to the bottom part of this dress…wonder no more!  🙂 I needed something that would work as a cute coverup to wear erranding before I ventured over to a friend’s place for an afternoon swim! I laid my leftover dress scrap upside down, and placed one of my best-fitting dresses over it, right…
