I was featured in the Deseret News today by Brooke Brown
who writes a fashion blog for them.
She also keeps a super cute fashion blog called keep collected.
Thanks Brooke!
inspiration this week was this shirt from Anthropologie.
I bought this shirt from wal-mart for $4 in XXL.
HOWEVER, I thought I would never say this but I think I'm done with ruffles. GASP, I know I know, I'm a ruffle queen and i still love them and will still wear them, but after owning 15+ items with ruffles on it, I think I quenched my thirst for ruffles. for now at least. ;)
so my newest craving? knots and twists.
I seperated the front and back
my daughter wanted to "help" too.
traced out a pattern
and twisted it using this how-to video I found. it'll also show you the pattern.
and the result:
I sewed the back on and made the sleeves.
now that i got the twist top done away, the ruffled top does look pretty cute...
maybe i'll make one later. ^ ^ ah, girls. we can never have enough clothes right?
Your work is amazing. I thought I would tell you just in case you didn't hear it enough :)
ReplyDeleteHey this is Ryan Fisher. I'd have to say that the stuff you do is pretty cool. Keep up the good work!

ReplyDeleteYou've got vision!! Seriously, amazing work!
ReplyDeleteWe'd love if you came and added this to our new linky party just for fabric projects!!

ReplyDeleteThe shirt turned out great, but I guess I am a little confused as to how that shirt from Anthropologie was your inspiration when they look nothing alike. Am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteI would have never been able to figure out how to do that, I envy your creativity! Great work!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! And thanks for the video tute link-up too. You do great work. Thanks for sharing ... I've posted a link.
ReplyDeletebakesale: I wrote that the anthro shirt was my initial inspiration but since I already have so many ruffle tops, I changed my mind last minute and did the twist knot instead. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I love the twist and have always wondered how its done. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteReally love it. Maybe I will even give it a try?
ReplyDeleteThis turned out really cute. I love remakes!
