I just made another jean skirt out of a pair of jeans... Then I turned the tops of the jeans into aprons. Also made scripture totes from another pair of jeans and Im making my oldest a purse.

I took our old coffee table and painted the top with chalkboard paint and the rest of it with just flat paint. Now my daughter has a chalkboard but at 1/2 the cost of a easel.

I took old receiving blankets and turned them into reversible baby smock bibs for my 1 year old. I am no expert sewer, so I was really happy with the result!

A friend of mine gave me this halter top probably about 4 or 5 years ago and I played with it a little bit then, but couldn't make it fit me right.  Well, I just pulled it out again today and decided to alter it to fit my DD.  I took in the sides and added straps and voila! adorable top for her!  She loves it!  And it can be worn over a long sleeve shirt in the winter and then as a tank top in the summer.

Thanks!  She came home today saying that 2 of her friends want to know if I can make them shirts like that too--lol!

Those are some adorable costumes and love the halter top refashion. Using things we already have to make great new things is so much fun. I need to get some more of my creations photographed.

Made "baby legs" from a pair of socks that had holes in the toes.  Very soft, dark brown in colour.  I just cut the foot part off and did a quick hem around the ankles so they won't unravel.
