Sometimes simple is the way to go. In the case of this thrifted tee, I've actually had it for years, and finally KCW pushed me to use it up! I didn't stray far from it's original form-just cut it apart (using the slimmed down Nessie) and then resewed it up into a cute little tee! I think my favorite part of this one is those cute elbow … [Read more...]
KCW: upcycled skirts & and pair of leggings
February 5, 2015 By 4 Comments
I'm kinda in love with this one because it was SOOOOOO easy. I had this adorable striped skirt that my bestie had given me, but alas it was too long because I am a shortie. But I loved the fabric and the way the stripes played off of each other. So this one I just chopped it off at about 15" long, then folded over the top to create a … [Read more...]

I think this little top might just be my favorite thing of late. Perfect shade of coral? check. lace? check. looks adorable on my mini human? check. See the before down at the bottom, but I scored this adorable knit tee whilst thrifting-the front had a lace overlay which I LOVED. I debated back and forth with what to make with it-it almost … [Read more...]
KCW: upcycled navy dot dress
February 1, 2015 By 10 Comments
KIDS CLOTHES WEEK is here y'all! I am psyched for this one because the theme is upcycle! I used to do this so much, when I didn't have much of a fabric budget but I wanted to sew ALL the things. We have pretty good thrifting around here so I'd hit up the t-shirt/skirt sections and buy them when they were half off. You can see some of my … [Read more...]
