My beautiful daughter took this picture of this less than beautiful dress. I thrifted it for a few dollars a long while back. I picked apart the skirt andplaced a pants pattern in its place. Picked off the sleeves and cuffs. Whole lotta sleeves! Extra fabric to make a sash belt. I found the center of the cuffs and pinned it for reference. You will see what I do with them! Bias tape around the sleeves and attached the cuffs. Check out the sleeves! Its actually the cuffs! I love my new romper! See you next time!
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! Next up: Craft Party I try to get my friends to craft with me a couple times a year. I don't even ha
