FRINGEY, TATTERED TUNIC


There's nothing better than comfortable clothes...maybe that speaks to my age..but it's hard to look special if clothes are uncomfortable...so, I stitched up this fab tunic from some soft, homespun looking fabric, left the seams raw so they would fringe when washed, and made it extra large so it would fit almost everyone..some loose, some just right, and left it in it's ragged, tattered, shabby state so one can just toss it in the washer on delicate, tumble it dry and pop it on. Looks fab over leggings..or at 31 inches long could be a mini dress. Bust measures 56. See it at sheerfab.etsy.com

Painted Denim Bag

Everyone loves denim, and it’s a great fabric to work with, but sometimes it needs a little jazzing up.  I recycled a pair of jeans into this fab bag with paint, a big floppy painted flower, loop and button closure and shoulder straps.  Check it out at sheerfab.etsy.comDenim Bag 003

HALLOWEEN IS COMING!


Halloween doesn't have to be all black and orange anymore. I think happy colors will work just as well, so I've added lots of color to my new Halloween sweater with an appliqued girl with multi-color scrap hair. This is a plus size made of fairly large slubby weave acylic and wool yarn that's woven really loose so it's soft and stretchy. A really special Halloween sweater for Trick or Treating.

RECYCLING PROJECT


On a recent thrifting trip, my most favorite thing to do when I have a little time, I found this darling 100 percent pure linen skirt in this great brown fall color. It has panels that give it a flouncy, swingy style with an asymmetrical swirley hemline. The fabric feels so great and the color is perfect for my upstyling with off white vintage lace down the front panel and a cute little lace rose at the waist. I've listed it on etsy.
