Well, after some weird allergic reaction that sent me to the doctor then the hospital 2 days later, I've had plenty of time away from school to get into my creative spirit again. I finally caught up on a little housekeeping and picture hanging (hey, it only took me 3 months to hang those pictures) and some redecorating.
I had purchased these old, crocheted doilies a few months back at my church yard sale. I knew they would have great futures but I had not found the right shirt just yet. Until Thursday. My daughter and I finally had some time to just walk around and window shop at antique and thrift stores since we were out of school for a short fall break. That's when I found this great oatmeal colored, long sleeve sweater for $1.50. So, the doilies go on the shoulders like so...
After sewing them on with a zigzag stitch, I decided to cut away the fabric underneath to expose the shoulders. I really love how it turned out and I got lots of compliments when I wore it to the football game.
So now here's my selfie in my $2 sweater that looks like it came from a boutique, paired with my $1 infinity scarf I made. I think it looks pretty sweet!
Happy crafting! Until next time...
