I Be Craftin', Yo!

so sometimes i geek out by myself and craft. "pictures?" you say? why yes, yes i do have pictures.

so i had this white, men's t-shirt that was bleh. so after seeing this, i gave it a go. i cut the neckline to a high scoop and used a black linen (that i may or may not have had since high school) and made a straight bow rather than a gigantic one because it suits me better. i'm wearing it tomorrow. i'm pretty excited.



then, i came across this little jem and since i am currently in love with all things tribal inspired, i couldn't contain myself. really though, i tried not to do this but i did it 'cause i couldn't stop myself. i decided that i didn't want to spend much money doing this. i bought cheep sneakers and a sharpie made for clothes and i used special design markers from when i was in fashion school. (side note: design markers are surprisingly strong. they can get you high as a kite without adequate ventilation during use.) 




i've also been working on some sewing repairs for the parental unit. taking in a shirt here, attaching a button there, reconstructing an entire dress, all in a day's work for a former aspiring fashion designer.
