Ruffle Cardigan T-Shirt Refashion

I had a little time this weekend to play a little with the sewing machine. I had these 2 long sleeve t-shirts that were old and boxy fitting. I took the solid one and trimmed it down, cut up the front and added a ruffle using the arm sections from the striped t-shirt. I'm saving the body of the striped t-shirt for another project I hope to work on this week. Have fun in your sewing room this week and I'll check back in soon!

Summer almost Over?

Wow, it is August already. The summer is coming to an end fast. The heat is still on and fall allergies have started already. But I'm not letting that slow me down. Get out there and enjoy life. I'm excited to think of the fun months ahead. A weekend trip to visit family will produce my next blog. My twin sister and I will be constructing antique door knob coat racks!

I hope to share how our girls train ride to Hermann, MO went. And cooking smores over a fire will be even better when sitting next to the pergola we are planning to construct in our back yard.

I'd like to thank Beth at http://chicenvelopements.wordpress.com/ , Amber at http://rufflesandrosescrafts.blogspot.com/  and Tamara at http://etcetorize.blogspot.com/  for all the inspirational ideas for refashioning clothing. So when the weather turns cold I'll be sewing even more!

Hope you will check in on me. It's going to be a fun fall so come along for the ride! Linda
