Some fun new outfits...and a mom's day gift too!

I haven't been busy sewing much lately, which makes me very sad but it's been BUSY.  This is my catch up posting.  When I have had time, these are my recent creations.  Enjoy and let me know what you think!

An original "R" design for my "mom" across the street!  I used a scarf and cut it into about 1/4 inch strips and just started making flowers...pinning along the way.  Then sewed to attach it.  Not sure how it will wash but it looks good for now! 

Up close and personal...sorry for the side picture.  Forgot to rotate prior to upload...hey, it's been a long weekend.


My mom sent me some money for Mom's Day, so I went shopping.  But because I don't often have "fun" money I was careful to to find the best bargains.  I found this super cute tee at Walmart for $4.  However, it needed a face lift.

So I went to JoAnns and found this cute lace for $1.


I pinned and sewed...


And this is what it looks like on...thanks to my hubby for helping with the pictures but they aren't the best close ups.  Sorry!!!


ANOTHER UPGRADE...

This was on sale for $1 at Walmart as well.  I bought two, one to cut up and one to make this!  How cute did this turn out.    I had a picture with it on but again, the hubby isn't so great with the camera.  Sorry, he does try!



Needed a new look for the weekend...
Cut the sweater sleeve and a t-shirt redo. So fun and bright!

And just the shirt by itself...

Keith wanted in on the fun...

This is how I did it...
Again, for $4 a great find at Walmart.  It's the OP brand and they are soooo comfortable.

Plain t-shirt, but with a pocket. I took the pocket off with a seem ripper.

Found this lace for $2 at JoAnns, and I have tons left over so can't wait for the next project.  I attached it just like I did with black lace of the earlier project.  Fun, huh???


So you have a shirt that needs a redo or a pick-me-up...email me!  I love to create.
