Sweater made Cowel

Refashioned pants

So I have these Jeans I haven't worn for a while but I still thought they have potential for doing a new creation to. So one day I was in a boutique out in Oklahoma and saw some pants that had extra denim fabric tied around the ankles several times and then wrapped in a bow. Soo cute. So I tried to do the same thing. I actually sewed them into the seems so they stay put. The jeans I saw had a zipper up one side though.

So I am thrifty when it comes to fabric. I love to find remnants and this one was a great find. There was just enough to make this project. I already had black at home so I added that to it. 

And then I made a head band to go with it. I made the flowers as a clip though so I can take it off and use just the flowers in her hair if I feel like it.

Shirt #4

So the last 3 shirts were all done with clothes I already had on hand. but this shirt is just a good find so I got 2 of them so I could make another shirt. They were on sale at Marices and then they do the extra 75% off which made them 3.25 each. It's only worth cutting up a shirt if you get it cheep enough.

So I got one small and one in a large to have more fabric to work with.  Cut the one into strips and then cut squares and then cut them into flowers.

I used 5 one inch strips all the way down as a guide and then sewed my flowers down the center only so they would be floppy on the sides.

Hard to see the details maybe I will take another picture outside to show how cute this turned out.

Shirt #3

So this one using a green layering shirt and a matching green floral print tank. 

I made some flowers by twisting and wrapping around the fabric at the same time.
Did some ruffles at the top with one flower in there too. Sorta hard to see because it's the same fabric.
