i've been watching this community for quit some time now, but never really have taken the time to post something
so here my first post! ^^ i've been doing quit some t shirt(and more, i also sew thing myself) surgery now, and wanted to show this one, i only used a scissor for it so it's quit easy to make when you don't have a sewing machine.
here's the before pic (2005)
as you see its way to loose around my waist.
i think i haven't worn it ever again after this photo, until i found out i could make something out of it (and i stopped wearing pink, now this is the only thing pink that i have left haha):
( clickety click for the result! ^^ )

Where'd the memories go? =( I used to come on here a looong time ago and recently got the web back. I was just wondering what happened to the memories. I used to refer to them a lot and was wondering if they got redirected somewhere?

I have been lurking about this site for a wee while and finally plucked up the courage to post something (if I'm doing it right that is, im knew to this live journal stuff, so the LJ cut thingy confused my teeny brain:S)
ive had a sewing machine for a while but haven't made much wearable stuff, until now that and ive just finished uni so not really had much time to make anything...
so let me know what you all think!
Be brutal. I'm British. I can take it!

I had a basic medium tshirt from the art institute of chicago I finally got around to messing with... I absolutely adored the shirt design but I don't wear tshirts. (especially ones that are large on me)
anyway, I took it in, changed the neckline to a more scoopish one, and added some bunching to the sleeves.
on me: (with a cute red lacy undershirt? yes please.)
and then for a floor view, with a closer look at the design...: img189.imageshack.us/img189/1393/thisshitbetterwork003.jpg

It took me six weeks to finish, but I did it. I don't know how Whitney from Whitney Sews does it!

| My New Years Shirt |
[01 Jan 2010|09:30pm] |
I don't have a before picture. I was home until about 7 last night so I was bored. I whipped this baby up in about half an hour. It was just a regular red t shirt, now it's off the shoulder, it ties in the back and has a bow in the middle! And it's a crappy picture, I know.
AND I just hit the jackpot for things to reconstruct! My boyfriends mom gave me a huuuuge garbage bag full of stuff! So, I'm off to make some stuff!

So, I have this kinda dorky tuxedo t-shirt from Bluenotes someone gave me for Christmas last year. I put it in a drawer and figured I'd think of something to do with it later. But I still don't have any ideas on how to make it cooler. Any ideas or suggestions? All I could think of was to make a bag, but I feel like t-shirt tote bags are a bit of a cop out.

| Reversible Vest |
[30 Dec 2009|01:31pm] |
Tutorial and finished project for a reversible vest I made. The grey side was a Medium t-shirt I picked up at a thrift store and the striped is an XL men's dress shirt (so silky smooth!) also thrifted. So the vest only cost me $1.00 to make!
