Guess what. It is! I've been toying with the idea to revive my blog for a while now. I love posting on Instagram and sometimes Facebook, but I feel that I don't always have enough space to say what I want to there.<br />

I've learned so much about the internet and computers, though I have a LONG ways to go still! My photos are better, and my children are a bit older. </div>

I'm not as crafty as I was, but I've spent a lot of time on my sewing skills. Right now, I sew mostly for myself, some for my children, I still have my Etsy shop though it looks a bit different. I've gotten to sew for many beautiful women, and some children too. </div>

This is my Coffee Date dress for Project Sewn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When deciding on what I wanted this dress to look like, I started to think of things I needed in my closet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guess what I didn't have in there?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little black dress!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I made myself one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really like this pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's very flattering and has a simple design but with a little flair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did a little re-purposing for the fabric for this dress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the bodice I used some black lace that had just a touch of gold shimmer and lined it with some silky fabric from a dress that I've had forever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The skirt fabric is a flowy black fabric from Joanne's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm still here! I know, I know...I'm the most random blog post-er in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't help it. This year has been cray. Cray-zy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok. To the subject at hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Liz & Elizabeth of <a href="http://www.simplesimonandco.com/" target="_blank">Simple Simon & Co.</a> , the ladies behind Project Run & Play have had the best idea!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have started a blog similar to PR&P but for women!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like sewing for my kiddos but I do sew for myself too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are in the middle of a few weeks of challenges. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My plan was to do all of them but I never finished last week's challenge, black & white.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My black & white project is sitting in my sewing studio half done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did finish this week's challenge though! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sundress.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This dress is made from a comfy black & whit knit that I got from Girl Charlee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love maxi dresses & skirts in the summer. I needed to add more to my closet so here's the newest one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGY-F4pqgnBtm2jEbGhyY4Eu_syGSnXrVq7rOjAisinXngUTXt18hLGEYSlDd4MWmUsgXTbkEtQsmLr6gvIaZ5z3Fj_Oqr37C6R9AQHIG1jVeooTAQV41eFMfWe6wkeMb4rWzPQQtuIUM/s1600/017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGY-F4pqgnBtm2jEbGhyY4Eu_syGSnXrVq7rOjAisinXngUTXt18hLGEYSlDd4MWmUsgXTbkEtQsmLr6gvIaZ5z3Fj_Oqr37C6R9AQHIG1jVeooTAQV41eFMfWe6wkeMb4rWzPQQtuIUM/s320/017.JPG" width="201" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But wait, there's more!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI8EfaXsNrb5EWWmXqxoM-QiFJr8yNd4Zl00TRTmH_i-EuEzKTdBZWPug2-BOwr6Krw_biHye_nCsq8Tp4HrFnk_nIsIP_VTC7ljzwJEawawZyui-s_c_0zsKvoTf0H-elCViselGG7oE/s1600/019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI8EfaXsNrb5EWWmXqxoM-QiFJr8yNd4Zl00TRTmH_i-EuEzKTdBZWPug2-BOwr6Krw_biHye_nCsq8Tp4HrFnk_nIsIP_VTC7ljzwJEawawZyui-s_c_0zsKvoTf0H-elCViselGG7oE/s320/019.JPG" width="140" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The back of the dress has a scooped neck line. I used leather for the neck band and made a leather strap across the back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA1VlvU1iDoHlW0_o7GriPQcG7x9dBzS0xkAyukx0iSIAt3hxsT8YhMOjCrm6cBZWrWcY_yAXeWnB-km32DVK7K4tgUcNRArvzcjRYdFTYhUiN64srxIDVqLxgILXTPYgi91OZyk3hSx0/s1600/016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA1VlvU1iDoHlW0_o7GriPQcG7x9dBzS0xkAyukx0iSIAt3hxsT8YhMOjCrm6cBZWrWcY_yAXeWnB-km32DVK7K4tgUcNRArvzcjRYdFTYhUiN64srxIDVqLxgILXTPYgi91OZyk3hSx0/s320/016.JPG" width="175" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this sundress has a bit of edge to it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it will be perfect for summer.</div>

Last week when I posted my <a href="http://pgoodys.blogspot.com/2013/03/china-cabinet-re-do.html" target="_blank">China cabinet re-do</a> I got a couple questions on the process, what I used, etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Disclaimer* I do not claim to be a pro at painting furniture at all, and I haven't painted a lot of furniture,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but what I have painted has turned out pretty good, and if I can do it anyone can.<br />
<br />
Some things you need are:<br />
<br />
1.Primer<br />
<br />
<img src="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4767509105149572&pid=15.1" /><br />
I think most projects will need a primer. My cabinet was dark and I wanted it light so I needed one. I used this primer, Bin. It's a really good one but it is smelly! It says on the container to paint in a well-ventilated area. Please be sure to do that and keep your kiddos away while you are painting. You wouldn't want them breathing those fumes. <br />
<br />
2. Paint<br />
<img src="http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4961615844934827&pid=15.1" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Pick the color(s) you want then decide what kind of finish you want- flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss or glossy. For my cabinet I used high gloss on the inside and satin on the outside.<br />
<br />
3. Paint brushes<br />
<img src="http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4838290163697395&pid=15.1" /><br />
<br />
For a project that has a lot of small corners a paint brush with a tapered edge works really well. It gets into the corners nicely. I wouldn't get the cheapest brush you can find, it will leave streaks or brush marks in the paint. You wouldn't want that if you are putting all that time into a project.<br />
If you are painting something that has a lot of flat surface, like a table, a paint roller would be a good choice.<br />
I use a small 6" roller or "hot dog" roller that looks like this<br />
<img src="http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4565675757275415&pid=15.1" /><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">All images were found on Google</span><br />
<br />
If using a roller, you'll need a pan to pour the paint in too.<br />
<br />
Some other things you will need are:<br />
~a drop cloth,<br />
~painters tape & paper if you are going to need to protect a glass door or something like that<br />
~tools to remove any hardware from your furniture.<br />
<br />
I think that's about it. Like I said, I'm no pro & I might not know the correct lingo but I think this might help if you are looking to paint a piece of furniture. If you have any questions feel free to ask!<br />
<br />
On a side note, I filled up my Etsy shops with a lot of new things and I'd love it if you stopped by to take a look!<br />

I have a friend who finds the best furniture to redo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She does some furniture refurbishing on the side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can check out Michelle's facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/uniquelyredeemed" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had been looking for a china cabinet or hutch for a while to put in my kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Michelle found this wonderful china cabinet that she was going to refurbish but changed her mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did some bartering and I got the cabinet from her and went to town on it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't it a beauty?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At first I went back and forth on weather or not I should paint it or just leave it as is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the end I decided to paint it. I felt like I needed it to be brighter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My inspiration on painting the cabinet came from <a href="http://www.peppermintbliss.com/2012/06/mr-banks-beforeafter-entryway-living-dining-rooms/" target="_blank">Bailey at Peppermint Bliss</a> and these china cabinets</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love that salmon pink on the inside & the white is so crisp & clean.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On a side note, I would LOVE to have Bailey come to my house and do whatever her heart desires.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's an interior designer and I love her style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, want to see my finished cabinet?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love it so much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept the hardware the same and left the wood detail in the center glass dark.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like the contrast it has.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of using this cabinet in my kitchen, it will be left in my studio for some pretty storage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had fun with this cabinet and feel more furniture painting in my future!</div>

I have a confession. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't decorate much for most holidays (except Christmas).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not on purpose, it's just that the holidays sneak up on me and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never got around to making new decorations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You would think I didn't own a calender.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well. This year I wanted some Valentines decorations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Confession #2: I'm not a big fan of hearts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know! Who doesn't like hearts?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me, that's who. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You won't catch me sporting a heart on my shirt or on a piece of jewelry or anywhere else.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what does a person who doesn't want to cover her house in hearts to do?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Decorate with hugs & kisses!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got the idea for this last year but I cannot remember where and I didn't <a href="http://pinterest.com/pgoodys/" target="_blank">PIN</a> it either.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's really simple and I really like them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got an "X" and an "O" and some strung sequins, then hot glued the sequins to the letter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just picked a spot that I thought would be a good finishing point when I was done, and went back & forth with the string of sequins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the X & O were covered I hung them up on my wreath hanger.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The X stays nicely on there and the O I tied a ribbon to and hung it from the ribbon to make it hang a little lower than the X.</div>

P.S. Did you know that I have 2 Etsy shops?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just re-stocked <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PGoodysMini?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">PGoodysMini</a> with some lace leggings for little girls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Quantities are very limited so grab them quick before they are gone!</div>

This is the last week of <a href="http://www.projectrunplay.com/" target="_blank">Project Run & Play</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the theme for the week is signature style.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was trying to think of my signature style I think I came up with outfits that are true to how I sew & plan my projects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As much as I'd like to re-create some of the awesome things I find on the internet, my kiddos don't always wear them when I do. At least Aubrey doesn't. So I make things that I think they would wear if they were picking out their outfit. The boys are easy still, since they are only 2. They will wear anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aubrey is a different story. For her outfit I made a tutu skirt and a shirt that she designed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Back in November <a href="http://www.mesewcrazy.com/" target="_blank">Jessica</a> did a series called KIDS- Kids Inspiration & Design Series.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This series included the kids into the design process. She's doing the series again, by the way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had Aubrey draw something that she would want me to make for her. I told her it could be anything. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In about 45 seconds she drew a top and knew exactly what she wanted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just now got around to making it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cannot find the original drawing but here's the shirt, exactly how she wanted it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5kcdhC_1y_GnE1bOeIb8RbB-CLviwvfXWVl9P7mtB2bj26ySHlXi2RpRej6BlsJUATdqHpxi8zwLi5OAeps_S4BnDJ2GPkANDChzOBMvXn8-lP_olGY0BNslIFHM5L2dhjichdNShF6E/s1600/024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5kcdhC_1y_GnE1bOeIb8RbB-CLviwvfXWVl9P7mtB2bj26ySHlXi2RpRej6BlsJUATdqHpxi8zwLi5OAeps_S4BnDJ2GPkANDChzOBMvXn8-lP_olGY0BNslIFHM5L2dhjichdNShF6E/s320/024.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A pink top with ruffles around the top & bottom with black buttons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the skirt, she picked out the prettiest melon green tulle and I found some matching cotton to line it with so it's not scratchy. The waistband is flat in the front & elastic in the back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For this week of <a href="http://www.projectrunplay.com/" target="_blank">Project Run & Play</a> the theme is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Valentines!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did Valentine's day shirts for the boys. You can see that <a href="http://pgoodys.blogspot.com/2012/02/valentines-day-shirt-for-boys.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year Aubrey got the Valentine's day outfit.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hand-sewed every. single. sequin. onto that dress. I told someone Aubrey better wear this dress a lot...I should see this thing on her while she's on her honeymoon!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my goals this year was to use up some of the fabric I have in my stash instead of buying more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This dress was made entirely from fabric I had! Some of it was from t-shirts that needed a new life & some of it was from left over fabric I already had. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The leggings I made a few months ago but I thought they went so well with this outfit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be putting this outfit in the PR&P linky party. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">I usually don't put my kiddos faces in my pictures but I had to leave this guy's face in. I think he looks like he's thinking "what is going on...she's nuts" & I just love the other's smile. These guys are finally smiling for the camera when you ask them too and these are the precious smiles we get!</span></div>

Oh my goodness, what a week!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's week 3 of Project Run & Play and this weeks theme is boys week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img src="http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p330/shannonandjeremy/buttonprp.jpg" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the <a href="http://mellysews.com/2012/08/pattern-spotlight-prepster-pullover.html" target="_blank">Prepster Pullover pattern</a> for this project and added my own spin on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a brown jumbo gingham and blue contrasting fabric for one shrit & orange on the other. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to dress my twins alike when I can (which isn't often anymore). With these, they are dressed alike but still have their own shirt. I used their favorite color for their shirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like the fit if of these shirts. A lot of the clothes you can buy for boys are really baggy. It doesn't help when your little guys are slim, which mine are. They swim in a lot of their clothes. This will be a nice addition to their closet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you aren't too familiar with pr&p they let other bloggers like me sew along for prizes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The deadline to enter your project is 8am MST. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was literally running around this morning trying to finish up these shirts and get them posted in time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I went to enter it in the linky party <a href="http://www.projectrunplay.com/search?updated-max=2013-01-22T04:30:00-07:00&max-results=7" target="_blank">HERE</a> (go check it out!) I was sweating and literally got it posted at 7:59 MST....or so I thought. Right after I posted it I saw that there was 3 hours left. Oh. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Apparently I don't know what time Mountain Standard Time is!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can tell I'm a little distracted. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a death in the family and my mind has been elsewhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Prayers & positive thoughts would be greatly appreciated. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you have a wonderful weekend</div>

<img src="http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p330/shannonandjeremy/buttonprp.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Week 2 of Project Run & Play and the theme is stripes & polka dots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What could be more fun than that?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My take on the theme is this light pink tunic with striped polka dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG6QvdhtIJrhrGqEzCjJIIFY3bZOiM0y7kkbGdc74_vbZiJ064IDuaTa42nTwxEOpFIEHbhI0FZbwdjRob6fwCjiGMJOWMWOLkZH3at6XNYjDlpKvFY5oeYlBxWaG6-EDaqhI70ak8nQc/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG6QvdhtIJrhrGqEzCjJIIFY3bZOiM0y7kkbGdc74_vbZiJ064IDuaTa42nTwxEOpFIEHbhI0FZbwdjRob6fwCjiGMJOWMWOLkZH3at6XNYjDlpKvFY5oeYlBxWaG6-EDaqhI70ak8nQc/s320/002.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to get dots and stripes in on this project and thought why not put the stripes on the dots?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the dots out of a very pale lavender fabric, then painted gold & silver stripes on them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgx57rrtNlmHjUCrcXDlDSBfW6j6R8-niyK0UUkyoEmlUcCu_flyz4D1fNdywbxJPL_9npE47UdNdhzwovX-Q98eJmOiP7ovpQZOLvjoarX86yNdkdHdsm0Djefo_RXkXTqaANOCu_atk/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgx57rrtNlmHjUCrcXDlDSBfW6j6R8-niyK0UUkyoEmlUcCu_flyz4D1fNdywbxJPL_9npE47UdNdhzwovX-Q98eJmOiP7ovpQZOLvjoarX86yNdkdHdsm0Djefo_RXkXTqaANOCu_atk/s320/003.JPG" width="204" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The two larger dots on the front are actually pockets!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8MChe1wNMTucUsQC6VtwFqthVP-sK49V5WIRRycgRYIogNQkpLl_JvLZtRRiJ6k8JXFI4XeSAO_OIVS27Os-uxhz4q-le0OgNZEmycIrwYaIC8XLK9BK-iax2m-Tc98QEjtGrVVy9PSE/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8MChe1wNMTucUsQC6VtwFqthVP-sK49V5WIRRycgRYIogNQkpLl_JvLZtRRiJ6k8JXFI4XeSAO_OIVS27Os-uxhz4q-le0OgNZEmycIrwYaIC8XLK9BK-iax2m-Tc98QEjtGrVVy9PSE/s320/004.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't do pockets too often for some reason so I thought I'd incorporate them into this tunic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used <a href="http://icandyhandmade.blogspot.com/2013/01/basic-bodice-design-series-shwin-shwin.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> tutorial for the tunic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be adding this to the PR&P linky party. Come on over <a href="http://projectrunandplay.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> and see!</div>

I've been following this little blog <a href="http://www.projectrunandplay.blogspot.com/2013/01/project-run-and-play-season-6-starts.html" target="_blank">Project Run & Play</a> for a while. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you aren't familiar it's kind of like Project Runway but the competitors are bloggers who are sewing for children. Each week they have a challenge and at the end of the week someone is voted off til eventually there is a winner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's so fun to see what the bloggers come up with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's also a viewer sew-along.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This season I decided to sew along with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This first week's challenge is a pattern remix of <a href="http://thecottagehome.blogspot.com/2011/01/party-dress-printable-pattern-and.html" target="_blank">The Party dress by Lindsay at The Cottage Home</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a picture of her dress</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLZBURcgnjUEhubdNa3e5iGww2Wv91J676pbHPZh9KclMY4CyLl8s-oNt3uYWf7eSzTUhkgVkIv558bJwfsbuV3NhO7AIaxnCFf8hU0JHgu1bQ2hczxr9u6f7l91H1A9u1Ab3FBusAArRj/s640/ThePartyDress.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The challenge is to remix the pattern and put our own spin on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my version of the Party Dress</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgCNPj9ZE4k1XOlCzNNA0mALBbyiwbD34jmjFZftCStZhOdej4FVlsDam8id6ZjsGbgFQsHrER351tqcrhjKdMikY6Xij3n9BLvpKgRObb0tF-vUwuQfYLAIU_sUCNdZ4jCMJDC0quol8/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgCNPj9ZE4k1XOlCzNNA0mALBbyiwbD34jmjFZftCStZhOdej4FVlsDam8id6ZjsGbgFQsHrER351tqcrhjKdMikY6Xij3n9BLvpKgRObb0tF-vUwuQfYLAIU_sUCNdZ4jCMJDC0quol8/s320/004.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll start from the top of the dress and work my way down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I turned the bodice around and put the buttons on the front of the dress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I made the sash thinner and longer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It wraps around the back of the dress then around the front and ties in the front.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Lindsay's dress she does a solid color block band around the bottom, but for mine I did a zig-zag band around the bottom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This part was the most time consuming part. This is the closest I've come to quilting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqPIGNYaT1sew09JZCcCiR7qWQbaz6uFjqWPPO346tq3hMZjVt5tl6o8bYe91VBRK0HoR7Bj0mPq0x1ibegbmBAfzvaLGD1hcI0X0F7ujZvfPoqhUyjuBCLhhzQuY_93w4B2gxgQqa7b4/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqPIGNYaT1sew09JZCcCiR7qWQbaz6uFjqWPPO346tq3hMZjVt5tl6o8bYe91VBRK0HoR7Bj0mPq0x1ibegbmBAfzvaLGD1hcI0X0F7ujZvfPoqhUyjuBCLhhzQuY_93w4B2gxgQqa7b4/s320/006.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made two rows of squares to sew on to the bottom to make the zig-zag band. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It came with some trial & error but I really like the end result.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim0dmt96_Yl_8kqhjgsYYN0294ZssJeKCkU62MtsR_fAS5ZMGwsTASuFo59FYpsP3MlFbXHz50kW0psFaFXp5os2UARNwgtK-0VGHMIRJf6-6J_rjeDdbKc7i5Q1XGAozX4ofJNMJ59ac/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim0dmt96_Yl_8kqhjgsYYN0294ZssJeKCkU62MtsR_fAS5ZMGwsTASuFo59FYpsP3MlFbXHz50kW0psFaFXp5os2UARNwgtK-0VGHMIRJf6-6J_rjeDdbKc7i5Q1XGAozX4ofJNMJ59ac/s320/005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a better look at the band.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really love the fabric and how the dress turned out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be adding it to the linky party over at Project Run & Play so come by and check it out!</div>

I'm here! Can you believe it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me either!<br />
The things that have been going on over here...<br />
Let's see, where do I begin?<br />
We've had doctors appointments upon doctors appointments, a surgery (on one of the kiddos which makes it worse in a way), I did a Christmas open house to sell some things I made, making gifts for clients, the holidays of course, and if the holidays aren't busy enough let's just throw in the flu, bronchitis, ear infections & fevers.<br />
<br />
I was so looking forward to the new year with the slow winter.<br />
My plans are to get to the bottom of my "fix-it" sewing pile, sew some of the designs that are going through my head & re-do some things around our home.<br />
<br />
What better way to start off the year than with coffee?<br />
<a href="http://s966.beta.photobucket.com/user/mtgoodfellow05/media/004-2_zps0dc39247-1_zps52f519d5-1_zps8886967b.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="004-2_zps0dc39247-1_zps52f519d5" border="0" height="240" src="http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae146/mtgoodfellow05/004-2_zps0dc39247-1_zps52f519d5-1_zps8886967b.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
I picked up this sweatshirt for a steal at Target and used a freezer paper stencil to paint on "But first, coffee."<br />
That's exactly what I'm thinking in the morning. <br />
How about you?</div>

Beautiful, no?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought myself a turquoise one off ebay for a fraction of what J. Crew was asking for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you order them from ebay you need patience though. It took a month to get here. I had big plans for that necklace and I was disappointed it took so long. But, I really liked it when it got here. It quickly became my favorite necklace and I wanted one in every color.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it might be a little excessive if I did that though. So I decided to make just one and I wanted a green one.</div>

I made it a little bit smaller than the one from J.Crew. I like them both ways. </div>

I really had no idea where to start when making this necklace so I went to Pintrest to help me find some ideas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got the material list from <a href="http://www.platinumblondelife.com/2012/07/diy-bubble-necklace-inspired-by-j-crew.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and just used the original picture as a guide.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found another blog where it tells you more on how to make the necklace. You can find that <a href="http://egyptomaniac57.blogspot.com/2011/02/craft-time-j-crew-bubble-necklace.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got the large cabochons & the settings from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PitulasVintageJewels" target="_blank">THIS</a> Etsy shop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been into making jewelry a lot lately. Do you like making jewelry?</div>

I like chunky rings. So I made some for myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last summer I got this wonderful box of clip on earrings from my friend. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were her grandmother's. I didn't take all of them, I only took a few pairs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These were my favorites. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew I wanted to do something with them but I didn't know what til a few weeks ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made some chunky rings. It was so simple and I'm going to show you how.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Supplies:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Clip-on earring</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ring base</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
strong glue (I used E6000)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsgovcbLurHaAFKD6ejd8Ow3DHAiC0kDitsOO3tR3Tlzp5T2i4FJ2BD5JiVmfKtHpm5QQ_OS4hpq8dthMPP0loL4biBFVqKeXRVhfrdaMCJbPKL-ia_tcBTGAoyncDksXO1q1cIHFKXEo/s1600/09-11-12+014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsgovcbLurHaAFKD6ejd8Ow3DHAiC0kDitsOO3tR3Tlzp5T2i4FJ2BD5JiVmfKtHpm5QQ_OS4hpq8dthMPP0loL4biBFVqKeXRVhfrdaMCJbPKL-ia_tcBTGAoyncDksXO1q1cIHFKXEo/s320/09-11-12+014.JPG" width="253" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take the clip off the back of the earring. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKqZqqLRfobngSxcvbUzhPGaiY85MsIxC8kEtdHzC57TK5tUTYwYsZ6xyLB8qIlj4IJikOyyk6T4O7kKkW1twxi5CYIpMFg3byFu6ppnLH0KhdXnaaqHT9Z0k9P9PhvRews-wuTFxn8PA/s1600/09-11-12+013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKqZqqLRfobngSxcvbUzhPGaiY85MsIxC8kEtdHzC57TK5tUTYwYsZ6xyLB8qIlj4IJikOyyk6T4O7kKkW1twxi5CYIpMFg3byFu6ppnLH0KhdXnaaqHT9Z0k9P9PhvRews-wuTFxn8PA/s320/09-11-12+013.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rough up the earring back and the top of the ring base. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This will help the glue adhere better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cover most (not all) of the ring base with glue and put the earring on the ring base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You may need to hold the earring on top of the ring base for a little while til the glue sets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let the glue dry overnight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enjoy your new ring!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found this dress at H&M several weeks ago on clearance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEituy5wAretfUewDSJGNkqBcJchCO_Ce1Rh4TMoTjoVyquUuFnCf5n85cuL00617h8fdUG6yY39nRD9zJMwf8rDLGw2R9Qzcl6y3E7-ah3Jdd0iKWf3uT-vcVVsBgcjqHeW-anlIlVy-Co/s1600/06-19-12+019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEituy5wAretfUewDSJGNkqBcJchCO_Ce1Rh4TMoTjoVyquUuFnCf5n85cuL00617h8fdUG6yY39nRD9zJMwf8rDLGw2R9Qzcl6y3E7-ah3Jdd0iKWf3uT-vcVVsBgcjqHeW-anlIlVy-Co/s320/06-19-12+019.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really liked it and the price was great so I couldn't pass it up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, this style of dress looks terrible on me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's no shape to it and it just hangs like I'm wearing a tent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I changed it to a top instead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6_fTXuB4vafL_kbdmEwGSRI4nGodqwVGbByH486iMdp3zJEC5qf6gjKlLrNyYePFGnOwog9qlfa5P_KhJxIX2DbxEJMUMh9XrvBRVUYmHdglzZ7jdALpxFx3ND4ZbF3bNPlpSPGxXB0/s1600/Chicago12+019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6_fTXuB4vafL_kbdmEwGSRI4nGodqwVGbByH486iMdp3zJEC5qf6gjKlLrNyYePFGnOwog9qlfa5P_KhJxIX2DbxEJMUMh9XrvBRVUYmHdglzZ7jdALpxFx3ND4ZbF3bNPlpSPGxXB0/s320/Chicago12+019.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was very simple to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you can use some scissors and sew a straight line,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you can do this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I cut the dress at the waist line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This step is optional. I did this to bring a little bit of added interest to the shirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You could skip this step and go right on to the next.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I cut the shape of what I wanted the hemline to look like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sewed the piece back on to the shirt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then hemmed it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9MVGxwkbfT8WfvdsJq3XOzA2bM1xOI1E35zPdXh63voKE0R0alBoV1NAlY3jlgQImpvJUDekNrQ0vesYeV3lgqBMqS-fh6Qhy1sn5iFHQRYx0GNa9jhgTtcE5EOZO7TrxsPTHndLBRIw/s1600/Chicago12+018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9MVGxwkbfT8WfvdsJq3XOzA2bM1xOI1E35zPdXh63voKE0R0alBoV1NAlY3jlgQImpvJUDekNrQ0vesYeV3lgqBMqS-fh6Qhy1sn5iFHQRYx0GNa9jhgTtcE5EOZO7TrxsPTHndLBRIw/s320/Chicago12+018.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted the back to be longer than the front to have that "hi-low" look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like this so much better as a top than a dress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a good refashion.</div>

Pintrest is a great thing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So many wonderful recipes, workouts and outfits just to name a few.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes you see something that you love but you know you will never find it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what do you do?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make it yourself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This skirt, for instance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You may have seen this outfit floating around Pintrest:</div>

I really like this maxi.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the neutral color, the length and the fullness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to make this in knit fabric but couldn't find any in this color, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I got some white knit and dyed it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The <a href="http://www.ritdye.com/colorit_color_formula_guide">Rit Dye website</a> has a color chart that you find the formula to make any color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I dyed 2 yards of white knit fabric in the washing machine and it turned out wonderful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've dyed things before but never in the washing machine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My projects always came out splotchy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not in the washer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's the only way I will dye anything from now on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fabric turned out great, very even.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used <a href="http://elleapparel.blogspot.com/2011/09/maxi.html">THIS</a> tutorial from Elle Apparrel to make the skirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a fun project, and really, pretty easy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the fabric was dyed it took me less than 2 hours to make this skirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's really comfy too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Are you enjoying your summer so far? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think summer is my favorite season. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the hot weather. Love it.</div>

You will not find me complaining about the heat ever.</div>

I've been watching my niece & nephew a few days a week and my daughter is just loving the fact that she has someone older than her little brothers to play with.</div>

this is a fun project and keeps them busy for a while.</div>

I love navy and white stripes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been seeing a lot of that lately, especially coming into the spring & summer season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would you know it's next to impossible to find some navy & white striped fabric? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make it even more difficult, I wanted knit fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found some online at one (only 1!) store. Before I ordered it I took a stroll through the best Joanne Fabrics store in the area. There's 3 around here and we have a good, better and best Joanne's.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't believe my eyeballs when I saw this wonderful navy & white striped fabric. <br />The best part about the fabric is that there is a lacey detail in the white stripes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can't see it too well unless you are up close though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I like the chevron trend that is going around right now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to add a contrasting pocket to these shirts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's not a new idea, I've seen it <a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-S2012/189577/680031/T-SHIRT%2BWITH%2BCONTRASTING%2BPOCKET">HERE</a> and on a blog <a href="http://shwinandshwin.blogspot.com/2012/05/contrast-pocket-tee-boys-summer.html">HERE</a> and loved it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I especially loved the striped shirt with a solid pocket.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last fall I got these shirts on clearance for the boys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided they needed a pocket.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a really simple project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

If you have some pockets laying around just slap them on the shirt and you are done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or, if you are like me, and don't keep a pocket stash, here's what I did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From a different tshirt that the boys outgrew I cut a 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" square from the bottom of the shirt, using the hem as the top of the pocket.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pressed a 1/2" hem all the way around except the top</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pressed the bottom corners of the pocket up to create some interest</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pinned and sewed them onto the shirt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a (fuzzy) close up</div>

Today I'm sharing 2 tshirts with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Two little muscle shirts.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a good re-fashion project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday I mentioned that I used the hem of this shirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5D4SvvGGfSueIQKWRKF7TdrRBmGaX4SEpuVDu5YHI7ZcrSicoSzqD3T_SE40dZiqZYkvJhhKQNxPIrZD7G53narsnpXrz94VzLUXBb7hkCcwCsDMjSlOF5rZw6DBSV1wgBtQq1N5suBQ/s1600/sewingprojects+023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5D4SvvGGfSueIQKWRKF7TdrRBmGaX4SEpuVDu5YHI7ZcrSicoSzqD3T_SE40dZiqZYkvJhhKQNxPIrZD7G53narsnpXrz94VzLUXBb7hkCcwCsDMjSlOF5rZw6DBSV1wgBtQq1N5suBQ/s320/sewingprojects+023.JPG" width="267" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, I used the rest of the shirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's the story on this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got my husband this tshirt last summer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really liked it, he didn't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I took it and, instead of getting rid of it I made tshirts for the boys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the <a href="http://shop.lilblueboo.com/product/diy-pdf-pattern-and-tutorial-recycled-t-shirt-sienna-dress-sizes-6m-to-6-years">Sienna Dress Pattern</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of making a dress I made shirts instead, as you can see. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Really, it's just a raglan style tshirt. Using this style I was able to get both shirts out of the one tshirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I used a regular shirt pattern I wouldn't have worked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I could use more of the cool graphics I cut out a couple pieces from the leftover material and sewed it on to the backs of the shirts to give them more interest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPvZILWatkJ334O1K2i5UaqbMbwcqVMro6iwmr4SJUwbeXjwcBmcvI1GbAd7N3_zBWxOEpr7KOWq32oYrdVTsQOvlIIl8eHYhjipjl1hsXEXoe2KbzOyy4iXDN4yxlEbq4kpNLjNRoB7s/s1600/sewingprojects+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPvZILWatkJ334O1K2i5UaqbMbwcqVMro6iwmr4SJUwbeXjwcBmcvI1GbAd7N3_zBWxOEpr7KOWq32oYrdVTsQOvlIIl8eHYhjipjl1hsXEXoe2KbzOyy4iXDN4yxlEbq4kpNLjNRoB7s/s320/sewingprojects+002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really like them. Now the boys will have some nice little tshirts to show off their muscles!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Day #2 of Tshirt Week</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoyJG3uuog0TMzorA8CXTHHzqJXK15D26lYKwaMNTFxYRzUoSKbZ6foPDWynz6SNndj6kz4iRQ96BG7ktTEmdzSx3YfINwdHHDIFoxesw-PP0YajrmI5j66mGnFKcelxEYTy-o6y2k1oc/s1600/sewingprojects+025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoyJG3uuog0TMzorA8CXTHHzqJXK15D26lYKwaMNTFxYRzUoSKbZ6foPDWynz6SNndj6kz4iRQ96BG7ktTEmdzSx3YfINwdHHDIFoxesw-PP0YajrmI5j66mGnFKcelxEYTy-o6y2k1oc/s320/sewingprojects+025.JPG" width="311" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found this shirt and loved it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That camper is my favorite part.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since we are going camping over the weekend I thought one of the boys had to wear a camping tshirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what it looked like before I cut it up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH5m0TIhRK-4RfisNWceBDdhrh830e2GPnE6KhrwwH93IQYiH4bnlhFPY2mNF-kyoWwyaQqUOg3Qs179pZfasQiDNqHAWgNxG5dKNa1j-2eL7yvLjLPSm6hrNL4SnwB75XTb0_o0d4XHQ/s1600/sewingprojects+024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH5m0TIhRK-4RfisNWceBDdhrh830e2GPnE6KhrwwH93IQYiH4bnlhFPY2mNF-kyoWwyaQqUOg3Qs179pZfasQiDNqHAWgNxG5dKNa1j-2eL7yvLjLPSm6hrNL4SnwB75XTb0_o0d4XHQ/s320/sewingprojects+024.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Actually I already cut it up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I forgot to take a picture of it before I cut it but you get the gist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not a fan of onsies on toddlers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also don't like to put my kiddos in onsies in the summer. I feel like it's too hot and no breezes can get to their little bellies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I cut the bottom part off the camper shirt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the hem off this shirt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC-hQgole7823gA-3J9mIsuoZEFxlmrOaYeqnoBhyphenhyphenxLFORqJH1pQMoTnMxjurDRn9feB0Uf7lP8kDqJsjWW4sisVatudN5u44UeaQOmzSXgPhdZUcYq13qJWOZaUycvindL7hc2DdgwiA/s1600/sewingprojects+023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC-hQgole7823gA-3J9mIsuoZEFxlmrOaYeqnoBhyphenhyphenxLFORqJH1pQMoTnMxjurDRn9feB0Uf7lP8kDqJsjWW4sisVatudN5u44UeaQOmzSXgPhdZUcYq13qJWOZaUycvindL7hc2DdgwiA/s320/sewingprojects+023.JPG" width="267" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll share more on this shirt later in the week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I left the bottom edge of the camper shirt raw and sewed on the hem of the AE shirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It gave it a little length and some contrast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoyJG3uuog0TMzorA8CXTHHzqJXK15D26lYKwaMNTFxYRzUoSKbZ6foPDWynz6SNndj6kz4iRQ96BG7ktTEmdzSx3YfINwdHHDIFoxesw-PP0YajrmI5j66mGnFKcelxEYTy-o6y2k1oc/s1600/sewingprojects+025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoyJG3uuog0TMzorA8CXTHHzqJXK15D26lYKwaMNTFxYRzUoSKbZ6foPDWynz6SNndj6kz4iRQ96BG7ktTEmdzSx3YfINwdHHDIFoxesw-PP0YajrmI5j66mGnFKcelxEYTy-o6y2k1oc/s320/sewingprojects+025.JPG" width="311" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And there's a tshirt that will make someone a happy camper! ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See you tomorrow for day 3!</div>

I started working on some tshirts for the kiddos the last week or two.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I realized I had quite a few different shirts I was working on so I thought </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
why not have "t-shirt week" on the blog?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...welcome to T-Shirt week: Day 1!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got this shirt for the boys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd7jbG1mWIXiTgFswol7fY79nfU60wV_EabRFZiqZrrBtOGJ35UTtWRlSnyHlY4n5bPfrASTBXmApi8Qa4Kb6qnqWzanv3xFfIMt0ujpo-Grelyg8N-VepcKbkEFW26igVs7LxVobtup0/s1600/sewingprojects+018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd7jbG1mWIXiTgFswol7fY79nfU60wV_EabRFZiqZrrBtOGJ35UTtWRlSnyHlY4n5bPfrASTBXmApi8Qa4Kb6qnqWzanv3xFfIMt0ujpo-Grelyg8N-VepcKbkEFW26igVs7LxVobtup0/s320/sewingprojects+018.JPG" width="292" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One small (big) problem, it's way too big and I didn't want to store it for 2 years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what did I do? Cut it up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut out all 3 sunglasses about 1/4 in away from the edge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_E4eFzzXidlHSbME0zifQEZ-jkejoJLqk66WMfcStEtuCIZ2DS-lCGo_f_7WdkpWKsZW2beYrjx0vm7Dk1VyHYUf9fv4zLmHJ54rXL8tjb0GarwuC0qbfEpyBoEXyu6_P_M_C7TajkX0/s1600/sewingprojects+019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_E4eFzzXidlHSbME0zifQEZ-jkejoJLqk66WMfcStEtuCIZ2DS-lCGo_f_7WdkpWKsZW2beYrjx0vm7Dk1VyHYUf9fv4zLmHJ54rXL8tjb0GarwuC0qbfEpyBoEXyu6_P_M_C7TajkX0/s320/sewingprojects+019.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I pinned it on to a shirt that was the kiddos size.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Note: If you use a shirt with a silk screened picture, don't pin on to the picture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will make pin holes in it. (of course, right? I did it anyways.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sew all the way around the picture and you are done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took me about 15 minutes each tshirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love quick projects like that!</div>
