MY Project Runway

I finally got dressed today because I had a

PHOTO SHOOT with a fabulous bride...

SO.. I thought I'd take a few pictures of myself

in the shirts I've been making this past week.

I wore this one today... I think it is my FAVORITE so far.

I've gotta say.... it was completely FUN to wear

something today that I actually made MYSELF.

and what makes it better is it was FREE stuff

that I was going to give to Goodwill...

This one was half of a cheap tank top (bottom)

and a plain ole' white man's undershirt t-shirt top.

I used the bottom of the undershirt to make the

ruffles on the sleeves. It was the easiest one to make.

This one started out to be one of my very favorite sweaters

but .... I didn't read the label and it wasn't supposed to go

into the dryer... SO I messed it up.

The length might have fit BRADY.

spaceI sewed some of the remaining undershirt to the bottom of it
and used more of it to make the side ruffle.

This was another plain ole brown tank top

that again was way too short...

I'm not sure how that happens.. haha

The blue part was a shirt I bought years ago

at Banana Republic.

After having Brady... I just don't

do TIGHT around the belly anymore..

The MUFFIN top is not attractive.

So I used the bottom of it to attach to the tank,

and the sleeves to make the ruffle and the tie.

This is the brown sweater that I

made last week. Just thought I'd throw it in

for my "THINGS I MADE" day.

I wore this one over the weekend,

and it fits so much better now that

I don't have to constantly pull my sweater down

to cover my crack showing..

43 year old cracks are NOT PRETTY!!!

Here is the other one that I showed you earlier this week.

It is one of my other favorites..

I wear tons of black so it will give me lots of new options.

I am so excited to be able to make stuff out of

my old YUCK stuff...

I figured even if I only wear it a few times,

or make a total mess of something I'm trying to create....

THEN nothing lost since it was all headed out anyway.
space

And the bonus is....

I now have some NEW clothes without spending a penny....

AND they all cover my CRACK.. haha

space

May we all take a few minutes to go

GOODWILL shopping in our OWN CLOSET.

Even if you don't like what you make...

then you weren't wearing it anyway...
