• And a dress for me

  
  fitzfabulous — Authority: 115
  Nothing from scratch or anything. Finally a redo to make it fit me. This stuff’s like polyester-wool boucle. Amazing texture. Cute lines in the front, too. Can you see the loop under the buttons? That (and the color) is what sold me. My pile of things to finish is raging out of control worse than usual. [...]

• Craft Fail, Redemption & a Tutorial

  
  ISLY — Authority: 116
  Have any of you noticed how horrible I am at taking half-decent “before” pictures? I should be so ashamed. Then again, a bad “before” photo always makes the “after” photo look so much better. I’ve had this shirt forever and I swear the neckline just gets lower and lower every time I wear it. ...

Definately a secondhand XL t-shirt refashioning project here. I bet this would look pretty cool sewn on to a mens shirt also. Photos from Diesel.com .

Too many clothes and at the same time, not enough.  For instance I have only two skirts to wear to work in the summer time and one of them needs to be held ...
