Sewing Craze

At the moment I have been overtaken by the Sewing Monster.  I have a big convention to go to, and I have no clothes for it or money for clothes, as I have been ill lately.  My solution: re-purposing I thought I would share some of the ideas I've gotten from Pinterest and various blogs about re-purposing clothing to make awesome thingies.  Hopefully I will get up the energy to actually do these things, and I will definitely share the finished projects, as well as some of my own I've come up with.  If it works.

Here are the links and some photos.

Tutorials:

Re-fashioned tee shirts

There are 25 ideas, and tutorials here.

Sweatshirt Liposuction

Cool, cool, cool. And the great thing about this one is if I mess it up a little I can always use it for work.

Tye Front Shirt

There is no tutorial for making this, but I think it would be easy(ish) to make.

Infinity Lace and Tee Shirt Scarf

 Easy Fix for a Dress Shirt That Doesn't Fit:

Braided Infinity Scarf

Color Blocked Dress

I think I could make this out of tee shirts. 

And that's what I've got so far.  Hopefully I can make some of these. There is a thrift store that sells a bag of clothes for $10! I'm going and stuffing as many tees as I can it that bag and get to sewing. And hope no disasters occur.

I Forgot I Had This Blog

I really did forget about it for a few days. I've been so busy working and sleeping I haven't had much time for anything.

I started working in July, 25 hours a week. Which turned into 35 hours a week, which turned into 50 hours a week. ARGH! My whole body has been a lump of ache for the past two months. But now I am back to 35 hours, and I think I can manage to pick up the pieces of my projects.

I have a lot to do.
1)Finish the IT Crowd guitar strap I've been avoiding for five months. The tension on that thing kills me.
2)Finish an awesome drop stitch scarf I saw at Irishfest. My friend said "Hey you knit! Make me one of those that doesn't cost $50! (Mine is going to be sooo much cooler, if I do say so myself. Although not of imported Irish wool.)
3) Finish my Subtley TARDIS scarf. It's blue with the design of the TARDIS worked into it over and over so it looks like a pattern, but if you look closely you will see the TARDIS. Is trying to conceal the geekery of an object geek in and of itself? Hmmm.

I aam determined to tackle the evil sock monster this winter. I will make socks, if it kills me! You will not defeat me, socks of doom!

And now it is time for me to go sleepy-bye. I am no longer coherent. Why do people let me have internet access when I'm half asleep?!
