I've been working on many projects over the last few days. One is an apron I really wanted to make out of some used pillowcases I picked up from Goodwill. I cut them open, doubled the pattern and stitched it up over. I eyeballed the pattern, which made the strap around the neck a little too long, but that's okay--it still works! The photo is a little blurry, so just so you know, it's an ivy patterned fabric.
Another project was dressing up a dress that I purchased from Urban Outfitters a few weeks ago on clearance. It's a beautiful dress, but it needed something extra. I plan to add a tie around the waist, but for now I just added some flowers.

And finally, a new headband (of which I absolutely love). I made the flowers from an organza wrap I found at Goodwill and the band is one I've had for a while.
Work was a joy *sarcasm*. There are so many people in town for various University events and work was incredibly busy. Sewing was my escape for the day (as you can see). An interesting note, I was asked to be the interviewee for the staff employee section of the co-op newsletter for next month. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but at maybe I can get the word out about my Etsy shop this way! Have a fantastic rest of your weekend!
Funny that you just made an apron...yesterday I told Chris that I was going to ask you if you might make me an apron if I purchased the fabric and thread and whatnot. ;)
ReplyDeleteI bet work was terrible yesterday. Stupid Moms' Weekends and Vandal Fridays. Ugh.
Ohhh I love finding treasure at the Goodwill, we have a couple of thrift shops here and my friend Jen and I need to plan an outing soon! Hope you have had a wonderful weekend!!
