Shopping Thrifty

So… today has practically been a perfect day! The weather is GREAT… and my car is finally fixed after having a dead battery all summer, (we thought we could save money by just driving one car,)… so I had the windows down listening to Darius Rucker… who’s voice just has something great about it… and absolutely LOVING life!

Anyway…I also went the the thrift store… looking for some old t-shirts to cut up to make this project… but found a gold mine of super nice clothes! I got 2 Gap, 2 Old Navy and 1 Banana Republic shirts… and the 2 regular t-shirts to craft with… trying to be GREEN and all…for only $15! It was a steal! Anyway… I am loving the suddenly changing summer to fall weather… and the fact that today I get to craft!

The Poncho that I made out of the Generation T book turned into look more like and “Un-Poncho”… lets just say it turned out terrible. I really need to work on it… or try again!

A Little Apron

I made an APRON! This was my first one so its not as beautiful as it could be… but I tried and I’m pretty happy with it! I even put some ruffles on it… first time making ruffles to! Hope you like it!

Heres a few with the apron on… but since nobody is here to take a picture of me… I took them myself! I liked the bow in the back though so I just had to get a picture!

Excuse the extra wide backside… lol!

A little Purse!

I had lots of extra fabric from the vest that I made so I decided to put it to a good use. I am the type of person that wants a new purse every month… or every other week… it really all depends! Haha. So I thought I would make a little cute one from the scraps and it really turned out great!

Heres one of me in the finished vest as well… which I forgot to post! Its a classic “myspace mirror shot”… so just ignore that and focus on the vest! )

Making VESTs on Craft Night

So for this craft night my friend Britton found a really cool pattern for a vest! I was having trouble figuring out how to use patterns correctly… so it was REALLY fun figuring it out! All the pictures taken on this are from Britton… so thanks so her for taking them and letting me post them on here!

I just thought this picture was awesome! Britton has this way amazing camera that I can only hope I will own one day~

This is in the process of being done… it still needs buttons… and of course a picture of it on so you can see it better! I like it so far though! )
