Week 27: Jessica S.
I know that it’s officially fall, but is anyone feeling true fall temps yet? Granted I live in a climate that doesn’t see such segmented, ‘true’ seasons, and it tends to feel like summer up until, well, Thanksgiving at times, but still it seems like the summa, summa, summa-time is holding on! (This video always makes me happy and you can’t ever go wrong with Fresh Prince/Will Smith!)
When I saw Jessica’s creation, I thought it was fab – something that works for warm-degreed days, but something that will also work as a great transitional piece into fall with boots, cardis, tights, oh my! Check it!
“I started reading your blog and have been inspired to do remakes of my own. Here is one I did recently.
Jessica S. - Before
The shirt pattern was so fun and I liked the neckline even though the size was obviously way too big. The shirt also had buttons all down the front so the neckline kinda looked like a waistline…
Week 41: Meredith
I was going to save this for an upcoming muumuu week (thanks to all of you who have been sending muumuus my way…I’ve got enough to devote a week to them…maybe a muumuu month even!!) but thought it would be fun – and time efficient – to work on one today!! Meredith sent this my way from San Diego!
Week 41: Meredith - Before
A slightly ruffled neck muumuu with a great color palette? Love!! The length and the size, don’t love!
“This muumuu has a big zipper down the front and you’ll probably be swimming in it! I was at a garage sale and found this with a box of blankets and sweatshirts and thought of you immediately. I would never have thought twice about a muumuu if it wasn’t for you. Have fun sweetie!”
OK, let’s have some fun!!
Week 43: Linden’s NDAD Creation
Linden in NC is who today’s featured piece comes from!
- Linden – Before
Week 43: Lily
When I made my way through the packing tape and started to open the box this piece was in I smiled immediately. Lily in FL sent this little piece of sunshine my way…“I found this at a local thrift store – the ruffles on the sleeves were cute and I know you’ll be able to “make it work”!!
I was obsessed with the pinks, purples and greens on this dress!! It’s like this fabric was made from my dreams. It looked a little something like this…
Week 43: Lily - Before
It was a super thick polyester/cotton blend, feeling almost like it should be one of those bold shower curtains that Urban Outfitters sell.
Urban Curtain!
There wasn’t a whole ton of shape and I felt like I was wearing a pillow sham!! I knew exactly what I wanted to to with this…looking like a pillow sham will make me sleepy and it’s kind of hard to nap at work 
Week 47: Sarah
Purple Rain, Purple Rain!! Woo hoo for the purple coming in my way from my gal Sarah in Plano, TX.
Week 47: Sarah - Before
I loved what she told me!
“I need to tell you that Plano, TX is second to none for thrift stores. We have a giant and well organized thrift store and a Goodwill, and two vintage shops and I’m sure more but I only ever go to the thrift store.” I think I need to make a trip to Plano – well organized is key and I tend to always be in the thrifting chaos of LA!!
The purple two piece Batik print dress…”came from the thrift store. Not sure what I intended to do with it. What was I thinking!?”
There is much to be tackled and I’m going to do each piece individually. Today, the skirt is on the agenda!
