Feelin' Blue??





I was feeling pretty photogenic today so I decided to take some pics with some accessories and clothes I just bought when I went shopping the other day. ( Using my mother), the wonderful photographer that she is! :) I have more pics of more outfits coming soon. But sad to say that I won't be able to post new ones every single day.

Do It Yourself: Statement Dress

What You'll Need:

-3 yards of fabric (vintage)

-a tape measure

-scissors, needle, and thread

-a white t-shirt

-felt stick on letters (that you can sew, iron or stick on to make any saying you want on your shirt)



Step #1
Cut the fabric to make the skirt of the dress. For width, measure your waist and multiple by 3. Then cut your fabric at the length you want.


Step #2

Using a needle and thread, make a running stitch across the top of the fabric (with each stitch about a one-quarter inch in length) When you finish, pull the stitch to shirr the shirt.


Step #3

Trim the bottom of the t-shirt so that it hits your natural waist. Sew the skirt's waist to the t-shirts bottom. Stick the letters across the front of the shirt to spell out your message.

..And there's your dress!!
