Wednesday Refashion

We have been doing a bit of t shirt refashioning around here lately 

It started with a shirt of my husbands(imagine basic large mens t shirt) and this tutorial....it was so simple and is so cute on her. It seriously took me ten minutes to make. She loves it and loves that wearing it is a way to be closer to my husband when he is gone.

Today i just flew by the seat of my pants....i had this old shirt of mine(plain gray v neck T) and i was never going to wear it, but i did not want to get rid of it so i got to thinking....what can i do with it?

Ding! Ding! Another top for Avery!!!!

I cut off the sleeves and then cut a straight line just below the v neck with about an inch to spare. At first i thought i would throw away the neck parts and make the shirt into a little play skirt but then this shirt idea popped into my head.

I did a simple running stitch to make the gather and then fit the two together with the top inside the bottom to make a paper bag style ruffle.

This took some serious brain work for me since i am not a clothes sewer but in the end we both really loved it and the pocket i used to hate came in so handy for her nano.

She's Crafty

I have a budding crafter in my house!!! Avery has been a making machine lately. It is fun to see how excited she gets about her projects. I can relate!!!

She planned out her quilt block canvas, inspired by the one i had made, and had a lot of fun deciding on colors and placement of said colors!! But if you wanted to know my favorite i would have to say it is these yarn wrapped twigs. I love them, especially the rainbow one! They remind me of the urban knitted trees projects.
