Asymmetrical Help

Okay, ladies... I need your help.

I have been dying to make this skirt for awhile.

I love it! Lets be honest, I love the whole look. 

I found some fun red fabric and had at it, but I am not sold on this yet. 

I just threw the skirt on, with what I was wearing that day, 

I don't think I would wear the skirt with converse. 

I just don't know if it looks enough.....

"asymmetrical".

I don't want the skirt to look like I just hacked at it with a pair of scissors.
Which I kinda did.
Notice the edge isn't finished yet. 

What do you think?

Lace Eternity Scarf

I'm sure lots of you have seen this on Pinterest. 

I fell in love with it. 

So I made me own.

I found some dainty lace in my stash.

I wish the lace was more, robust, 

or maybe thicker.

Whatever this lace is or isn't, 

I still like it. 

I liked it so much that I....

Made another one.

With some fabric and lace. 

These are all made with scrap knit I had. 

Don't you love those easy projects

 that look like they are a million bucks!?

Refashioned Shorts

We have seen them everywhere,

These cute little shorts

source

A little gathered and over-sized, 

but still super cute.

I thought I would refashion a pair of pants, 

that are extremely long on Kay. 

Which I could actually do to all of her pants, 

because she is short. 

She actually has never worn these, because it is a million degrees here in the desert.

But, I really like the color.

Just cut off to the length desired. 

I wish I had actually cut off a little more length, 

then what I did. 

Just so you know. 

I tension gathered around the bottom of both legs.  

Don't gather too much! 

It will make the shorts too tight around little thighs!

Using the cut off pants, 

Cut two 4"-5" sections. 

Try using the bottom part of the pant leg, 

because that is usually the straightest part of the pants. 

Sew them on the pants. 

Hem the bottom, 

just to make finishing the shorts easier.  

Top stitch and all done! 

I promise they are the same length although they may not look it!

I am super excited for Kay to wear these with leggings

and tights in the winter! 

YEAH! 

Winter, is coming right?

It doesn't seem like it here in the desert. 

Send some cold air this way, 

will you?

I think I might be obsessed

with KNITS!

I have had so much fun sewing with all of these knit fabrics I have gotten recently.

I know the background is not blue, 

but seriously, 

I woke up, but on these clothes and took pictures. 

See how much I love you?

like my model pose?

This is something I whipped up really fast, 

based off the kimono tee 

from burda. Although I did this in 2 pieces. 

It's slightly boring, 

so I plan on adding something....

What do you think I should add?

On a side note, 

check this out!

1 plus to living in a condo community place,

we get awesome finds, by the

DUMPSTER.

Someone threw this out.

So we took it,

(no, it wasn't IN the dumpster, just by the side of the dumpster.

So, no climbing in the dumpster for this.)

I've already got my hubby making it look more modern.

Now, I just have to sand it down and paint it.

I'm thinking a glossy yellow, or green.

My hubby is thinking a distressed blue.

We need some help.

This is going to go up in our bedroom,

which is right now, blue and white. 

 I desperately want to add more color to the room.

And make it feel more eclectic.

P.S. My hubby doesn't like brown,

so we aren't going that way. 

P.P.S I got the fabric dye pastels from CSN!!!
