Crossing my fingers that this post will go off without a hitch...
Happy Friday! I don't have a ton of pictures today (most of my pictures are from projects that I'm working on and I don't want to share them until my projects are finished). But here are a few I do have.
Remember the crop top I bought at Goodwill? A few people suggested I wear a longer top underneath it (because there is no way I'd wear it as is!). The only top I could think of that would look okay was this tie dyed tank top. I actually kind of like it! I wouldn't wear the tank top without something over it and I wouldn't wear the crop top without something under it, so it works out well.
The blue dress is pretty exciting for me--out of nowhere, I decided to try on my "Dr. Oz dress" (the blue dress that I wore when I was a guest on the Dr. Oz Show) and it actually fit! I didn't even have a problem zipping it. It's a size 4, so I never even attempted to try it on over the last few years. Can you believe it's been 11 years since I was on the show?!
Today I worked on some clothes that I wanted to alter or mend, and I had a pair of jeans that I loved but they were straight legged jeans--and with my enormous calves, I need flare jeans. So, I decided to try cutting the side seam and adding contrasting fabric in order to make them flare. Chick was loving helping me, as long as I threw him the scraps.
They kind of look like a big mess, but I really like them so far. I haven't finished yet (I'm going to put the dark blue denim all around the bottom, too, so the hem kind of ties into the flared sides. You can't really tell from the picture, but the holes in the jeans are patched from the inside with dark blue denim and lace over it. Anyway, when they're done I'll try them on and take a picture. I'm excited I'll be able to wear them again! (Now, if only I could be brave enough to cut into my very favorite skinny jeans.)
The chairs are very small, which I think is interesting because people were smaller back in the day. My butt barely fits on them! And I honestly don't have a big butt.
I'm really impressed with your sewing skills. I wish I had learned how to sew. And you really know how to handle wood too. Jerry really found a good find with that table. Hope you had a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat garage. Imagine that, but paper. Stack and stacks and piles and piles of paper. That's my office. Good luck, girl.
