I have a heap of clothes to tear apart and reconstruct today! Check back for lost of posts today showing what i’ve finished!

Turn this X-Large womans snap-down shirt

into a cotton yoga skirt (shown with the RTW skirt I used as a template)

and cotton gouchos

using only the shirt, new thread, and repurposed elastic (ripped from an old pair of maternity pants)

I made a set of cloth diapers for a friend of mine. She donated the last 2 I needed to make her towards my 3day Fund-raising on Etsy. Here is one that was finished, posted, and sold yesterday.

At nights and on weekends, my favorite thing to do is lace up my sneakers and go for a run. I wasn’t a “born runner” like some people. I have to work up to it, and that can be difficult with asthma, and arthritis in my knee.
To track my runs, etc, I use the Nike+ system, which i LOVE. You should check it out. It’s cheap and sooo easy to use.
You have to either buy ($$$) Specially made Nike+ shoes for your sensor, or buy a pouch to wear it on your laces. But the pouches I found were ugly and I don’t like ugly. lol
So i made a pouch for myself

That I totally forgot to post *duh*
I took this t-shirt that I used to wear a lot and hacked it up into a layered look T for Lily.

and after:

I had this nursing top from Motherhood that I loved when Lily was a newborn. The material is nice b/c it’s SUPER stretchy. But obviously I have no need for it now that she’s been weaned a while.
So I chopped her up and made Miss Lily a new dress from it

I added a new soaker to my etsy site today!

Go here to purchase it!
ETSY LISTING

being that he is a jeans/tshirt/baseball cap kinda guy, it takes a LOT for him to part with some of his old t-shirts. And today he did just that…. for his little boy.
JR went through his closet for some old unwearable tshirts (one was too large, one had a paint stain) and I got to work downsizing them for Brendan.

Here is the before

and here are the afters (don’t mind the cheesy “I’m a 3.5 year old, and i love being in pictures” smile)
