A tute for the shirt is now available in the tutorial lab!! Whee!


a couple of weeks ago, my boss at work (subway, ugh) gave me all the extra t-shirts we had left over from our last promotion. :D i originally wanted to use them to make a dress, but when i started cutting the pieces for it, i decided that was a little too ambitious for how sewing-lazy i've been lately xD so instead i made a shirt. :D i went to the trusty GW and picked up some white t-shirts, and the most awesome cherry print pajama pants:

& combined them like so:

the fugly subway shirt became the cute sweetheart yoke, sleeve binding, and hem. the cherry pants were reborn as the puffy sleeves (i seriously have an unhealthy obsession with them...), and the white t-shirt is the main body, and neck binding (obvs, lol).

just a better view of the sleeves/yoke. the red part wraps around to the back, too. :) it's neato.

i'd worn it a couple times when i took these pics, and it needed washed xD sorry about that. it looks way better clean/unwrinkly XD but you get the idea anyway.




this is a hat i crocheted a few months ago.

(camera weirdness in the first picture...)

i wear it when i don't like my hair/pretend to be a fashionista, lol. here's the pattern i used: http://jessicasuzanne.com/craftypants/2007/09/13/pretty-puffs-slouchy-hat-with-pattern/




and completely unrelated, here's a picture of a duct tape rose i made (bored at work one day... why we have red duct tape is beyond me) in a shot glass my friend bought me in paris. photoshop fun :)

The shirt's absolutely pretty, and deserved to be that pretty than being the fugly uniform. Neat stuff!

thanks everybody :D


missx3lizzie - there's a tut for them in the tutorial lab, but the pictures don't work anymore :( here's a link to it on instructables: http://www.instructables.com/id/Duct-Tape-Rose/ that's exactly how i did it.... only instead of florist wire, i used a coffee stirrer XD you can use pretty much anything as long as it's thin enough. old wire hangers would probably work well.

kisukejazz - i agree, hahaha. it looks way better now than it ever possibly could have as that fug uniform shirt. XD

Oooh, yes. That is one lovely, lovely shirt. Great job, looks very professional. I can't tell you how much I love diy stuff that doesn't look handmade, you know? The hat as well, looks like some overpriced topper from urban outfitters or somesuch place. And duct tape never fails to amaze me with its artistic capabilities. Good job!
