I secretly want to be a stylist that is really affordable. I have this second hand store by me that sells new to barely used name brand items for deals you cannot pass up. I do things a little backwards when dressing. I usually start with my favorite thing SHOES and more shoes. I have a ton! So I found these kind of loud orange shoes that I like. Then I found this nice sweater with embroidery that would match. I of course then cut up a guy's t-shirt (the collar) and made my own necklace and voile'.......really inexpensive.

Welcome
Welcome to my arts and crafts blog. I wanted a place separate from my photography blog where I can talk about art, crafts, DIY and my latest passion, Pinterest. I am not opposed to talking about Photography here also. I want a place where other bloggers can upload what they have made or join in discussions about anything creative. No judgement please on photography uploaded from anyone as I for one plan to use my phone on a lot of tutorials. I know a lot of blogs have beautiful photography and that is great if you have the time but sometimes it is just easier to capture it on your phone for example's sake.

Upcycled Man's sweatshirt
GIVE ME SCISSORS AND A SWEATSHIRT!
I just did a DIY.....turned a man's xl sweatshirt into something stylish. You need to buy the sweatshirt a lot larger than you want the jacket. I kept thinking about this so I just cut away not exactly sure what I was doing so sorry for the unproper tutorial but I think it turned out kind of cute. This sweat shirt was brand new at the thrift store so really cheap and it was such a nice thick sweatshirt with kind of a lining. I just happened to have the right amount of vintage anchor buttons. This is all just cut and hand sewn. I am sure you real seamstress can make it so much more polished.

I like to cut T-Shirts
This is a cool t-shirt alone but........it is a guy shirt in which the neck is higher than a girl shirt. I like to mix a slight masculine style with a feminine style in layers. So I cut the neck line and the cool thing about t-shirt material, you do not have to put a seam or sew the cut edge, it just kind of curls or stays intact. This was an easy t-shirt cut and I showed a couple of ways to add a layered/feminine look. I have done so many and different styles but always forget to take a photo of the shirt before cutting. Oh and please excuse the photography and my background choice. I just put a gray backdrop on my bed......not the best color choice.
