Let The Stash Games Begin!

Hey there lovelies,

Now, this post is picture obsese. SERIOUSLY. I was on a crafty roll yesterday, majorly, and I have a lot of stuff to share with you. I also made quite a dent in my stash. Or at least, in my stash of t-shirts, since these are mostly t-shirt surgeries. I'm going to shut up and show you some pictures now though. Hooray!

This is the Wolverine Slasher Skirt Mark 2. I used up two t-shirts to make this (and, the last of my Wolverine t-shirts!). Also, the waistband is not actually lumpy like that. Dammit, I always stand wierd for my DIY photos.

Back view (shit, I only just realised that bottom strand was hooked under like that). The slashed strands are actually sewn into the seams between the skirt panels. Nice and tidy! Since I don't have an overlocker (serger), I zig-zag stitched the bottom hem to leave it looking unfinished, while actually being finished. Sneaky right?

This shirt I made from scratch, using the my last metre of this striped fabric, and the t-shirt patten from my TAFE course. The Marvel Superheroes graphic came from a thrifted t-shirt, which I'm pretty sure was a kids shirt. The little piece on the arm has their names on it: Storm, Phoenix and The Invisible Woman.

Coffee bottle bracelets! I used the beginning of Thera's upcycled bracelet tutorial, and then I just went crazy with the craft glue. The bases of the bracelets are made from Dare Double Espresso iced coffee bottles, courtesy of The Boyfriend. Notice that one has dinosaurs. This is because everything is better with dinosaurs.

Cat ear headband! I took a headband I never wore, and attached ears made from a thrifted leopard-print velour bag. BEST HEADBAND EVER.

The first of my random things necklaces. Made from plaited t-shirt scraps, gold, black & silver thread, and random embellishment things I found at Spotlight ages ago.

Again, plaited t-shirt scraps, silver & gold thread, and some random hearts.

When I bought the first season of Glee on DVD I got a free t-shirt, which of course was a Men's size Large. I resized it, and tried to make it a bit more nerdy/highschooly by adding the raglan sleeves & collar. The sleeve material & collar came from the free t-shirt I got when I bought House on DVD.

And, last but not least, a skirt made from a t-shirt and a wierd stripey tunic dress that I only wore once. You can wear it about a million ways (or even as a dress, if you so desire). It also has maximum twirl factor - see picture evidence below.

I don't really know how many points I get, since most of these were reconstructions/refashions, but I'm sure someone can fill me in. As for me, I'm back to planning more things. I already have a dress and a bag (possibly two) in the works.

Until next time, xo.
