revamped toms

sooo i have had a pair of toms for about three and half years.

i knew when i got them that they weren't going to last forever.

so this is what the before looked like..

 and this is the after.

 with a patch of fabric, some fabric glue, a needle, thread

and good company they have new life.

[fyi this project took about an hour and a half, it was worth it]

i am excited about these shoes being fixed up for fall.

i think when the rest of the shoe gives out i will recover the whole shoe.

i am just not ready to let the cool burlap look go just yet.

:)

this weekends finds...

so i went out antiquing with some friends of mine.

i found the jackpot.

for weeks I've been hoping to randomly find these bad boys.

i hate jo anns. not for any other reason than its too big and too expensive.

i found two unopened bags of stuffing at my fav antique mall.

for $1 each! ahhh i was so excited!! i love a good deal.

then i found this.

for weeks and weeks i have been searching for a cute indian print shirt or dress.

well here it is!

i will be making this 3 5/8 worth of fabric into a vintage maxi dress.

so here you get to see a shot of it just as fabric.

i cannot wait to make this dress.

i really hope i don't screw it up!:)

i love love thrifting things out of pittsburgh.

it is my most favorite thing to do.

sunday funday projects..

today i sewed up three projects and put together one.

this babies have been on my to do list for months.

here they finally are.

our kitchen window that has been naked since we moved in.

it got some serious spring color today!

this fabric is a vintage bed sheet scrap that i purchased from creative reuse.

no lie i have had this scrap for prob 6 or 7 months...im a slacker.;)

this is the teenie tiny window at our back door that had a raggedy old curtain.

which i have replaced with a matching curtain to the window one.

its adorable. i love it.

this lamp i have been dying to make.

i bought this old golf ball basket for $10 about 5 months ago.

i finally put this bad boy together to avoid using the yucky colored light

in our kitchen. this light is much more warm and inviting.

i love the way it came out.

sundays are my crank them out days.

my plan was to make pillows for our bed well i made all these things instead.

oh and i also made a draft blocker for our backdoor with fabric

my roomie bought from creative reuse. it is so fun!!
