Projects this week



This week is supposed to mark the first day of spring, but we got dusted with enough snow yesterday to close schools! Here's what I've been occupying myself with:

1) I "Frankenstein"-ed two shirts to create this one. The lace shirt was a goodwill find that had a high neckline and too-tight sleeve seams. So I chopped off the lining and shaped it into a mock bustier. The white shirt is really too transparent to wear by itself but the lace over top makes it perfectly wearable.



2) These are 5"x5" wooden boxes my mom got to keep fabric scraps in. I adopted them and decoupaged them with old 70's sewing magazine pages. The funky birds were too cool to pass up!



More to add soon!
