I love my craft blogs. Every morning I grab my coffee and sit down my lovely macbook and go through all of the craft blogs I follow. I've noticed a trend lately among them, Anthropologie and JCrew refashions. Two of my very favorite stores that I can't afford to buy anything from. But oh how I love to torture myself by browsing through their beautiful selections of clothing, especially at Anthropologie. Drool with me...
These are a few of the tops I found during my latest torture session. I've been so inspired by all of the other refashions I've seen lately, I decided what the heck...I can do that! So I headed to our local thrift store and Joanne's to pick up what I needed to get started. I found a knit top for $4 and some trimmings for about the same. I forgot to take a picture before I went at the shirt with scissors. But here is what it looked like after the scissors:~)
And here is the finished product. I used another tank top of mine to decide where the sleeves and neck openings needed to be. I used the sleeves to make the drape in the front and the turtle neck to make the rose. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Great job! Awesome work and DARLING! Way to go!

How gorgeous! I've been looking for a good design like this that I can wear that will hide my "gut" but still be chic... and THIS IS IT!!! Thanks so much for the inspiration =D
ReplyDeleteSame here!!! Was drooloing right along with you. That was very creative and the shirt looks so similar! Last winter I broke down and bought a pair of boots from the store. Love the post!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work, it came out beautifully! I need to get to work customizing some cute gear for fall!
