Fabric flowers

Remember this cute shirt?

Here's how I made the flowers.

These are strips of old shirts.

wrapped the pink strip around and around to create the rose. I glued little spots as I went around to hold the fabric together.

On the back I added a small circle piece of jean (again jeans that had holes) to hold the flower together better.

Here is my design to add to the shirt. I sewed the green strips to the shirt and then sewed on the flowers. My girls love there new shirt (thank goodness they share clothes and I didn't have to make two)

changes will happen

This is a pile of old shirts.

For a while I have been collecting old shirts that have no more use. Spots, holes, stains you name it they have at least one if not more of those things. Well I decided to use them as material.

Here is one of my projects...Stained area on shirt


I used an old green shirt and light pink shirt so come up with this.

Old pants to new shorts

I am so tired of holes in jeans....fixing them with a regular sewing machine only holds for a while so why not change them to shorts but with a little flair.

Can't wait for summer to see my sweet little girl wearing them.

Hanging Flowers

More little detail to the girls room...

Paper Flowers

Lots of paper and time....caught up on DVR shows =)

Girls Bulletin Board

More decor for my little girls room

Old bulletin board covered with old fabric that had batting (that I started to make a small quilt but didn't like the way it turned out, so reuse but hide it!)

Flowers from my wedding boutique, Brown ribbon, pink buttons from my collection, and pink brads cut the backs off the hot glued everything down.

Don't look to close I originally thought I was going to make the board like the girls quilts but realized I didn't have enough scraps to make it cute. Therefore that's why there is a cut in the fabric. Thank goodness the girls don't mind and things will cover mom's mess up.

Time to make 45 minutes ~ Cost just the pink brads $2 had everything else at home, but my guess if you didn't have the thing on hand $15

Nail polish is it a kids toy or not?

Do you have girls who like painting nails but they just don't sit long enough for them to dry.
Try this....

It looks like a normal nail polish bottle but it has a secret.

It's dried out! Old nail polish bottle that the polish was getting sticky and not spreading nice so I changed it. I shook the closed bottle really well (since there was only a little nail polish left) then opened up and left it open for a few days for it to dry. I even left a little on the brush so my girls think its really coming out. Fun pretend nail polish!

baby doll wants one too!

Do you remember my previous post, of my little girls Dream Room? HERE
Well I knew that there dolls would want one too! I made the little blankets with the scraps from there quilts. Don't look to close I had to use some uneven fabric pieces to make them work. Oh well the girls love them and so do there dolls.
