I made this dress this week. I used New Look 6459 for the basic pattern. I used a black cotton for the lining and the top. The overlay is this cool net my mom gave me with lime green flowers sewn all over. The straps are a sheer ribbon I folded in half and topstitched. It closes in the back with a zipper and hook and eye closure.

I made both these awesome peices over the last week or so. The skirt is a wrap skirt with a cool stripe of lace cotton at the bottom and a ruffle. The shirt was a recon from a long sleev-er that got bleach stains on it. I crocheted a neckline from an old tee shirt (project seen on http://www.threadbanger.com/episode/THR_20080418) and I added a handsewn applique on the front over the last stain. I think it turned out great!

Threadbanger

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 08:07:00 -0400

Threadbanger:

I love this website! Everyweek they have two shows, Decor it Yourself and the original Threadbanger. They show you how to make lots of cool clothes or crafts for the home from recycled/thrifted goods. The hosts are very entertaining and the whole show is very “green” and DIY oriented. I just love it! I have been totally inspired to not just sew my clothes from fabric by the yard now, but to give other older items a new life.

This week on Decor it Yourself, Meg shows us how to make our own cleaning supplies and bring a little green into our spring homes. Love it!

“For the first couple years you’re making stuff, what you’re making isn’t so good. It’s not that great, it’s trying to be good… But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, your taste is still killer! And your taste is good enough that you can tell what you’re making is a disappointment to you.” -Ira Glass

I made this today after an inspiring afternoon with Sir! We went to the museum, browsed my favorite clothing shops, and stopeed for cake. I also got some inspiration to turn an old button up shirt I had into a cute spaghetti strap dress with some left over cotton fabric! Stay tooned!

Wow! I came home and I these shoes were here that I ordered! I just love them! So sparkly for spring. The company that makes them is called Earth Shoes. They are structured so that you stand back on your heels, which makes for better posture and less back pain! I know, it sounds crazy, but they totally work. And in such hip styles and colors!

Also, I am not so sure about the bacon dishes though. They seem sort of greasy for a salad… although easy to clean!
