I'll change the way you think about fashion.
Cutting off the sleeves, rather than removing them completely saves a good bit of time, but the inside of the arm hole won’t look as nice when you’re done stitching it down. I wanted to make sure that extra fabric on the inside wouldn’t flop out while I was wearing my dress, so I added a second layer of stitching next to the first one. To complete my muumuu-to-dress refashion, I pressed my new seams and hem, being careful of the heat setting. I styled my new dress with a few thrifted accessories and a fave pair of square blue sunnies then headed off for a couple of afternoon beers with the Mr.!
When I found these eggplant-colored men’s dress pants on the $1 clearance rack at the thrift store, I got pretty excited. Usually, the men’s pants I find there are varying shades of grey (probably not fifty, but maybe like 45-ish). After playing with the fabric a little, I decided to turn these men’s pants into a daring & dare I say it? For sturdy fabrics, like the one I’m working with today, you can just insert the seam ripper into the seam with ball side facing in, and rrrrrrrrrip straight up the seam!
It’s been three months-ish since my last chemotherapy treatment, and I wanted to drop in and let you know how I’m doing since a lot of you have asked. There really isn’t much information out there about what it’s like for cancer survivors after chemo is done and they’re out on their own again. I feel like this sounds crazy, but for the first month after chemo, I felt sad and scared. Now I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist to figure out what’s going on with my stomach, but as anything is better than cancer, I’m not that worried about it.
Therefore, sharing a St. Patrick’s Day refashion days after St. Patrick’s Day is pretty dumb, huh? Okay…I’m not sure how this happened, but when I perused my sizable dye stash, I discovered I had no green dye. Since I was feeling festive for St. Patrick’s Day (a recent DNA test revealed I’m half Irish…among other surprises), I employed a little dye mixology. I mixed roughly 2/3 teal dye with 1/3 yellow dye and used a bit of a paper towel to check the hue.
