Project of the Day: Little Girl's Skirts with Tops

Recycling old clothes will not only lessen the crap in the house (environmentally-friendly, check!) but also is a great way of turning an otherwise forgotten-old-clothes into a new creation. This time, I made two girl's skirts with matching tops.

Materials:
Old shirts/Polo
Elastic
Thread

Project of the Day: Cardigan Transformation

I had to make fabric flowers of different shapes and sizes for this project. Since I intend to give this to one of my nieces, I re-sized an old cardigan of mine to suit the intended recipient. I, then sew the flowers one by one, until I began to have carpal tunnel syndrome, just kidding. Anyway, as modeled by Annabelle, the result is shown below.

Materials:
Old cardigan
Left-over fabrics
Buttons and bling blings.




Project of the Day: Skirt from Old Dress

Here is another creation from an old dress. I sew a skirt out of this blue polka dot dress. I also made use of the remainder of the fabric by making a Kanzashi flower and ruffles that I then put on an old tank top. So here you go, another transformation.

Materials:
Old dress
Old top
White/Blue Thread
Garter/Elastic
