Now that my handsome roommate/best friend has returned to school, I have a lot of time alone at home. In the summer I'd go exploring, but I am holing up for Chicago winter, no matter how mild.
My new sewing machine has been put to work!
After fixing all of the ripped pants in the house--including one pair split by Jake at a party when trying to do yoga while wearing corduroys--I began working on the pile I set aside to reconstruct. Each top is upcycled from materials I already owned.
Vintage blouse, ruched with added blue lace.
Freestyle "quilt" from fabric scraps appliqued to a stained t-shirt I had dyed last summer. This is a new style that I am working to perfect.
Peculiar short sleeved t-shirt/cardigan/jacket, sewed together in the front, gathered under the bust for a little shape, and give puffy sleeves.
I can't wait to do this to more sweatshirts! Tiny vintage sweatshirt turned into a cardigan with a lace trim. I'm not loving the lace, so I may replace it with some green or white binding. What do you think I should do?

Congrats on the sewing productivity! Mind if you send my "to-do" sewing pile your way? :) It all looks good but I am especially loving the quilting on the t-shirt.
