New favorite fashion blog – sea of shoes

Sea of Shoes

A lot has been happening here lately; crazy hectic workload, three trips in one month, keeping up with my kitties one who had kidney failure last year and has daily meds and is now is also anemic, it goes on and on and on…

I do have some new clothes to share but I haven’t taken photos yet. My hard rock shirt was worn extensively with shorts as a swim cover-up on my trips and I want to make some dress-like t-shirt coverups as a result.

Anywho, I wanted to give you some eyecandy in the meantime and there’s this blog I came across with tonight that has a closet and clothes to die for (ok, maybe not in the literal sense):

DIY T-shirt refashion: Hard Rock Cafe Maui

Posted by By

Ok, so this was freehanded and I had no pattern. I cut it apart, sewed some things together tried it on, sewed some more, tried it on again, sewed some more until I was done.

I tried to outline a little of what I did but even after I drew it up I kept remembering little things I did like ties on the shoulder straps because they were a bit wide. Also note that for the front top I did a lettuce stitch and then use some thin elastic to make it gather and fit better.

Hard Rock Cafe - DIY shirt refashion

A few posts back I linked to some resources for sewing and DIY fashion. There are a lot of tips and tricks that may help you refashion an old or large t-shirt. 🙂
