I love Bane's Craft Alongs! It's even more fun to participate. :) This month, her theme was Black & White so I took the opportunity to do an easy refashion.
I did not take a before picture but I had this black and white striped tee with a black lace collar that I got during the "Before Time" when I was trying to go unnoticed. I rarely wore it, though, because it was too flashy for me back then. LOL
Shirt: Woman Within many years ago Black lace skull: Etsy |
It was a super simple but time intensive process to hand sew it on so I just parked myself in front of some scary movies for a Sunday and was able to get it done. Now it's a shirt that I will at least wear more often. :)
This wasn't part of the Craft Along but it's something else that I made:
I ordered the pendant from Firemountain Gems and used a couple of broken necklaces to get the parts to string it.
Love the top and charm; the skull definitely adds interest to the stripes!
ReplyDeleteI need to get working on my project, this month has flown by.
