First Post

So I mainly wanted a place to show off my creations from t shirt recons :) My new found LOVE. I just started sewing and I love it. Sucky thing I only have a 1970s Kenmore sewing machine and don't know how to use it.

(there it is..little toddler fingers too,my son was helping me)

Well I know how to but it eats up the thread like crazy so Ive just been doing everything by hand.Its okay though Its relaxing at times especially when I have a couple of toddlers screaming and fighting over everything. So far (which hasnt been long maybe a month) Ive made a few things. Dont laugh but Im gonna show you the first thing I made. It was for my daughter, made from one of my shirts that were too small for me but I still loved the design so I thought " hey lets make a dress for Kaylee".

(She loves it..cant you tell)

I used the sewing machine on this. All I did was cut off the sleeves and brought it in on the side. I still havent mastered hemming but I have a feeling I will eventually.

(love this band btw)

This is a shirt I made for my son. It was a medium plain ol band tee. He looks absolutely adorable in it but its so hard for me to get still pictures of him. I haven't figured out what to do with the collar idk.

 My first pair of shorts. I was so proud of myself (they are crapily(word) made) but I still like them very comfy. O and I made them from a plain black t shirt and a white one for the waist band .

(the picture sux its my phone)

I am SOOSOSOSO proud of this. Its 2 separate shirts the top part is an aropostal (idk) M mens shirt and bottom is from one of my maternity shirts. I also made the flower on the bottom. This shirt wasnt what I was going for at all. I wanted ruffles and bottons bit I could not figure out how to make a place for bottons so this is what i did instead. I wanted it to look like this http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/ruffle-tube-top

but it doesn't I'm still proud of how it turned out btw it doesn't fit I made it to small.

 

(theres the flower)

                Now these I made for a friend. Short Capri things. Out of a L fox shirt and an orange tank top.

Well thats it for today ( I think) I will hopefuly be back tomorrow with my newest project.Ta ta for now!!!!
