Much awaited refashion post

Okay about a half dozen of my refashions I will post later when I can take photos of me wearing them and then you can actually see how cute they are. You just won't get it unless they are on. But for most here is my refashion heaven reveal.

It all started when I saw this post on Make it and Love it I thought the shirt was so stinking cute. But I am so scared of messing up my clothes by sewing on them that I dug and dug until I found the perfect shirt. Bright pink and has a big hole above the boob. Not so cute! So I pulled out material scraps and searched for a match. And then I remembered that my mom gave me my grandmother's old t-shirts thinking I would wear them. Not that i am too good for my grandma's hand me downs it is just that she weights 85 pounds and lets just say i am much more than that. So I dove in and cut up my shirt.

I followed the basics of the tutorial found above except i just used one small circle pattern, the size of my kitchen glasses, and made 18 circles. You need 6 for each flower. And I am not a "neat" seamstress so i made it more freehand. (P.S. on the wish list for christmas is one of those free form machine foots!)

Also I went to a Super Saturday a several weeks ago for our ward and help teach the bow making station. Basically that meant I sat and chatted with my friend Whitney until one or two made their way over. But I did learn a few tricks to add to my knowledge bank about bow making. Here are a bunch of bows I made for myself.

I am not a big fan of fixing my hair all neat and tidy. Basically i just grab a handful of hair and start pinning. I then make sure it isn't too tight around my face and maybe pull out a loose stand to neatly graze my face. I love long hair for one reason, I can make my shampoo last a good 3 or 4 days with this style!

Some of the tutorials I have come to love for bow making are found at
