Work it Out!


I came across old t-shirts and decided to make them into workout tanks with inspiration by BuzzFeed's Summer T-Shirt DIYs. One of my future projects will definitely be the crochet back shirt (#25).

Original shirts (both from Threadless)



After some scissor, tying, and/or sewing action...



Best part of t-shirt recon? You don't need to really finish any of the seams! Unless you want to, of course.  

EDIT: Shirt in action (at the beach!)

Baby bonnet

My cousin recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, so I decided to make her a bonnet! I wanted to try my hand at knitting this time, but after much searching, the pattern I found was crochet. That just means the little one will be receiving her bonnet that much faster :)
Pattern from Craftown here

I got a bit confused halfway through with the pattern, but I think it turned out well in the end. 


Simply soft yarn really is soft; perfect for a baby!


As modeled by my panda bank 

Now to find new baby projects as another cousin is expecting. Babies galore!!

Broomstick Lace

I've added yet another infinity scarf added to my collection! I learned about the broomstick lace stitch last year, but did not have a broomstick or anything of the same size handy until recently. I used this pattern and just kept going...


and going...and going...until I finished the entire skein. which is not what I was supposed to do. which means I have a REALLY long infinity scarf that needs to be wrapped three times to fit properly >.< 



Thanks to my wonderful friend D who let me stop by whenever and let me use her broomstick :D

All Ends Whale

I started making whale printed PJ shorts a long time ago, but I felt I cut them too short so the project was tossed to the side until I found my solution: lace!


 Whales and fishies!! 


Adding the lace...


I've started putting little tags on clothes I make :)


Finished product!! It only took...half a year >.<
