three refashions

I bought this triangle dress thing for five bucks, and even though it wasn't outdated or anything, I decided to refashion it into some things that are more my style, and more useable:

i liked the cami so much I made another zipperless one out of my dad's old tee:

 

It was super easy and fast, and I made a little tutorial for my blog.  Check it out!

vintage fabric top (tutorial on my blog)

So this is a top made from some crazy vintage fabric that I rescued from the reject pile.  If you want to make it, it uses about a yard of fabric plus some lace, and should be pretty easy to size and sew, and also to tweak if you want.  I love it!  I think it worked great for this poor fabric.  It has a new life!Lol

Check out the tutorial on my blog and let me know what you think!  This is my first tutorial.  Hope you like it!

backpack attempt

This backpack, made from a men's coat and a leather jacket, is not something I like a whole lot. When I have it on, it doesn't sit very well.

I will try to make a backpack again, because I know what I need to do to make it sit right. Not for a while though, and not with leather! (My sewing machines hated me.)
