Hello everyone it has been ages since I last updated this blog and I am super sorry! It has been busy the past couple weeks however I'm here today to share a new Make it Monday! This week I will be working on a super cute back pack. The pattern and lace trim I bought at a flea market so total I spent about $2.50. The plaid and yellow fabric I got free from my grandma so that helps quite a bit! I have been wanting a cute little bag to tote around with and I thought "Why not make my own?!" I just need to pick up 8 "D" rings and 3/4" medium stress self- gripping fastener. I hope to have this done by next Monday, fingers crossed. Here are the pics down below!

 

 

 

Garage Sale Finds #2

Hello everyone! This weekend I got some great stuff at a few garage sales. I got a box full of sewing notions including fabric, thread, patches, needles, etc. I also got a bust practically brand new! What a find! These goodies will be added to my stash of sewing supplies.

On top of all those great things I also picked up a bag/briefcase for only 50 cents! It has a few compartments and pockets on the inside and back. It's even big enough to fit my laptop, which I think is a major bonus! It looks so smart!

 

(I've included the prices and pictures down below.)

OOTD Friday #2

Welcome everybody today is Friday and it's time for my 2nd OOTD (Outfit Of The Day). This OOTD features a denim day dress with a blue and white striped shirt and a pair of strappy sandals. This outfit is perfect for a Fourth of July party or just out and about running errands. I plan on pairing this outfit with a red head scarf for a pop of color and a patriotic statement.

 

 

Shirt($3.00 Thrift Store)

Dress($12.00 Rue 21)

Sandals(.75 cents Garage Sale)

 

You could change the shirt for a sweater depending on season or rock a studded shirt for an edgy look. Makeup for this look can be super understated and natural or over the top edgy depending on the look you want. I prefer something light for the summer, like nudes and pinks that compliment every skin tone. Of course you can add your own flare of style by just being you!

Make it Monday #2

Hello this post is coming a bit late due to unforeseen technical difficulties! Last week I showed off my cape that was a work in progress. I have finally finished it! I decided to leave off the buttons that I previously wanted to use. Partly because they were a smidge to big for the front of the cape and I don't like button holes. Now I have decided that I will use pins to hold it closed as you will see in the pictures. Check it out below!

 

 

Cape made by me! Pin given to my mother and borrowed by me!

Doesn't it look great?!
