This is a cute little dress I made yesterday. The top half, is a t-shirt that I had lying around, I cut it at about where an empire waist line would be, with about 1 inch of seam allowance, that way I could later make a little channel to run elastic through.
The skirt half, is as you can see, a plaid flannel, I gathered it first, then attached it to the t-shirt. And to complete the dress, I added a navy sash around the waist.
Here is a navy turtleneck I put together, I used two tee's I bought at a local thriftstore as the fabric, and I made the pattern up. I have to say that it ended up being just a bit smaller then I wanted it to be, and Abi (in the pic) being a bit smaller then me got it, so that worked out, I guess, though she probably has more clothes then a girls needs : P Most of which are my cast off (the things I "grew" out of), LOL!
P.S. the bag on her arm is a basket I got from my Mom, who got it from a garagesale, and then I put the plaid lining in it, funky huh!
Ugg! I have been sick, sick, sick, and now it's cold, cold, cold. And we currently have no electricity.*pout*
I wonder if I will be able to keep with this, I have the hardest time not buying something, if I really like it!
I guess we shall see.
This is a bracelet I made, It is crocheted embroidery thread. I really like the big brass button, it came from a tin full of buttons my Dad bought at an auction.
Sometimes you can find some really neat stuff at auctions. I got a really cute headboard for my bed one time, for just $5! I had to down size though from a queen to a twin (need more room in my room!) and the headboard was just to big for the smaller bed.
