Re-Purposing: Tshirt into a Dress with Braided Collar

  Many times, I like to re-purpose from old clothes in my “donate to the thrift store” pile.  But sometimes, I walk through the store and see an article of clothing on clearance…….and decide that the fabric used would be perfect to re-purpose.  Especially when the piece of clothing is cheaper than buying un-cut fabric.  […]

Flip-Flop Refashion: Part 3 (Ruffled T-Strap)

    Are you tired of flip flips yet? Hang in there…….because I’m not. :)   I keep finding new colors of $2 flip-flops, cutting them apart, and making new straps and styles with fabric scraps and doo-dads that I have at home.  I just can’t get enough of these simple little jewels.  They have […]

Re-purposing: Boy Pants into Shorts (with added Pocket)

We all know it’s a bit easier to come up with girl clothing ideas and revisions. It’s those darn dresses and skirts.  They come together so fast and simple….and they’re frilly and cutesy and addicting to make.   So, when a boy idea comes to mind, I have to jump all over it. (I have […]

Ruffly Skirt……from pre-ruffled fabric

I reeeeeeeally like sugar. In all forms. Candies/cookies/ice cream and chewy/hard/crunchy/smooth.  Sugar puts me in a happy place.  Sounds like an addiction.  I know. But sometimes I eat so much of it (especially holiday time) that I get so sick of it and go to bed, patting my poor belly, and think, “I will never […]
