evening project

I turned a baggy pair of pants, kind of like these, into a skirt! Ignore the mess behind me - I'm 'cleaning'.


It was surprisingly simple, although the results are imperfect. Just pick apart the inseam on the legs, cut to length, figure out where the new middle seam is, pin, sew, trim.

new favorite terms: upcycling and refashioning.

ah, summer

I think I've found (or rediscovered?) a new love -- sewing! But fancier this time :)

like this flower:


and this shirt - from this:


to this:


I could definitely use some more practice but I think it's wearable? Shouldn't have made it a v-neck, and I wish the top ruffle didn't have to go all the way across, but it's hiding blue letters.

yaay sewing :)
