Yes, Another Starry Night Dress

Remember these????

I still had some Vinny fabric left over from my husband. I love me some Vinny Van Gogh!

I decided to make yet another dress from this amazing fabric.

I am more than happy to sport more Starry Night outfits around town.

I just wore the Starry night dress last week to a wedding, and got lots of compliments. It was such a great feeling! My girl loves her dress too, and with the chilly weather here now, leggings and a sweater are perfect with her dress!

You can check out the details of the dresses HERE and HERE.

I had just enough fabric to make a simple t-shirt-y shift dress. But I only had enough left over for the front. Have no fear!!! I have plain black fabric that will be a great match for the back.

I traced a T-shirt and extended it down as far as the fabric

length would let me.

Perfect with a sweater and boots! A great dress to wear the day before Thanksgiving break starts! I know we are ALL ready for a break!

Without the belt.

Looks better and more flattering with the belt.

See you next time!

Graduation Gown not just for Graduates Anymore

This discarded, and loved-no-more graduation gown was calling to me from the thrift store rack. It was perfect for this time of year when teachers say goodbye tearfully to some, and not-so-tearfully to others. But we love them all anyway. Heeeeey! Over here! Buy me and give me a new life!! So I did. Sally liked the dress much better once I picked off those sleeves! She thought it was a perfect resting spot. I chopped the bottom a bit, folded it twice because it was fray-fray-central, and I hemmed it all up. I could use the chopped off bottom piece as a belt or use an existing one. Choices.... The dress is all white so this time, I decided to go with a darker brown belt, and some metallic sandals. Congrats and good luck to all the 2015 graduates! I'm ready for the ceremony! See you next time!

Vacay T-shirt and Shirt Dress Refash

Got a plain black T? Make it fancy by embroidering some letters or pictures on it! I picked my word: RESFEBER Definition: The restless race of the traveler's heart before the journey begins. We are planning a summer trip, and I'm gearing up for just a carry on for the plane! No time for baggage claim! But I gotta be stylish ya know? I measured out how big I wanted the letters to be and sectioned them off in equal parts with some chalk. Let the stitching begin! I did a basic chain stitch for all the letters. This is when the thread is doubled and you stitch up through the middle of the previous stitch creating a "chain" look. I'm ready to go! I really like the way the v-neck highlights the placement of the word. The white embroidery thread adds a nice contrast, but you could do all the colors!

That's Cray!

The first day of school is upon us....errr...me, and I needed a shirt that said "'I'm cool, artsy, and nerdy" all at the same time. I though about it for a while and came up with an idea. I had some of this leftover fabric from an art teachery dress that I made, and it sparked an idea. Cute fabric right? I scored a black T-shirt from the thrift store for $2.00! It seemed never worn, and no fading! I love soft T-shirts! I also had these iron on letters left over from a project from years ago....yes, I still had them cuz' ya never know! Letters, fabric, T-shirts, OH MY! I ironed on my cool, nerdy, artsy saying and figured out where I wanted the fabric to go Oh Yeah! I decided on only one shoulder(because that's different, and crazy!), and a stri...
