Crazy with the sewing

I got a sewing machine (the Project Runway edition) and I found several "refashion" websites... that combined with added time on my hands has really inspired me to sew... a lot.

Here is a skirt made from Ben's old polo shirt.


Here are some Pajama pants made from the girls old flannel recieving blankets. The first pj pants I made for Sophia were HOOJ. I learned from them though.


Here are 3 not quite finished projects.
1. This was a medium sized womens sweater and now its a Sophia dress. I need orange thread to finish the neck piece (you might be able to see the pins holding it in place)



2. This was a long sleeved hoodie and now it's a vest. I need to get pink trim to sew around the arm holes.



3. This was a size 9 month dress. It will be an apron for Abbey when I get some white ribbon to make a tie and add a white pocket.


I love this web site My Mamma Made It. She uses Anthropologie to inspire the stuff she makes. That will be my next project (or set of projects)

Hi there, thanks for the nice comment on my Chanel dress knock-off refashion from last year. :) It is actually not difficult to do at all... there were a few requests for a tutorial but I never made the time. Judging from the sweet projects you've posted I bet you can figure it out!
