Back on Track

I've been away for a few weeks. School and work have been occupying a lot of my time. But now I'm back...with a vengance! Ok maybe not.



But I have been working on some new projects. I made a shirt that I saw in the book Generation T. I was finishing it up at work and one of my co-workers asked if I could make a variation of it for her. I said yes and shes gonna pay me 30 bucks for it!


This is the version from the book.



This the modified version I made for my co-worker.










I also spent waaay too much time(and $$$) in Jo-ann's the other day. But I got some really cool fabric and patterns. I made an apron from this awesome apple print fabric, and Im in the process of making a cute dress for Spring, in my favorite color-purple.

This is the pattern I used for the dress:




This is the apron (I made full one):

My next project will be a t-shirt for Left-Handers Day. Yes, thats right lefties get their own special day. Its August 13th in case you didnt know. I'm making a t-shirt to help spread the word.

Oops!: The Laundry Mishap Collection #s 2-4

So a few nights ago I got bit by the inspiration bug and churned out three more shirts for my Laundry Mishap Collection.

My two new best friends. A spray bottle of 1/2bleach, 1/2 water and a Clorox Bleach pen(great for working with stamps and stencils or creating fine lines)

This is #2. I was wearing this shirt when I made the first in the series. I got some bleach on it and I really liked the color so I just added more bleach.

#3. A grey tee that i had for the longest. It was starting to fade so I gave it a lil bit of oomph. There are stars in the middle of those spots.
Close-up, you can sorta see the stars.

#4, this one I did entirely with the bleach pen. I just held it over the shirt and let it drip.
I stamped a bunch of grapes on the shoulder and at the bottom. It looks a lot more defined in person.

I still have a lot more T-shirts in my big box o' craft supplies. im not quite sure what I would like to do next. Ive been thinking a lot about spring/summer dresses. Ive been sketching a few at work. Id really like to make a T-shirt dress with a full skirt, but I havent really worked it out yet.
