Re-Fashioned Tops

Hello My Blogger Friends, 

I figured while I was still trying to figure out how to use the Video part of my camera, I would show you a couple of pictures of some tops that I kind of re-fashioned so I could wear them comfortably. 

First there is this awesome lime yellow (that's what I call it) small T top that I had purchase at a quick moment when I went to work and the top I was wearing just looked like crap...it was Saturday and I was delivery tires at the time...yes tires.  
I would do pretty much any job that entailed driving because I just loved to drive.
Anyway, I quickly drove to the closest mall which was a couple of minutes away and ran through the mall looking for any store where I could find a decent top....so low and behold I spotted this awesome T which I just loved the colour so I grabbed it...
should have picked up a small, but bought a medium instead...needless to say the medium was a little loose, and being a V-neck didn't help with all the bending I had to do while slugging tires to customers.:)

As soon as I got home I pulled out some lace pieces I have amongst my fabrics and found a piece that I thought looked nice with this T and quickly pinned it in place while I wore it, then took off the top and sewed it in place with the machine.....cut of any excess lace and there I had a cute T in one of my favourite colours ready to wear comfortably now with the lace.

Second... Wow, this top has got to be over twenty years old forsure!...I bought this top at a Rib Fest in London, Ontario while visiting a good friend and my oldest daughter was with me too because she was the only child at the time of this purchase.  We had a great time at the Rib Fest ... ya know, ate some yummy ribs, went on a few rides and then came upon a great selection of silk screened T-shirts which I couldn't resist.  I still remember my daughter bought one with a Lion and I bought this one of the Zebra.  It had a crew neck.

I do love large T-shirts to wear sometimes, but it always bugged me because they looked manly and I wanted mine to have a bit of fem to it...you know what I mean?  So, out came the scissors and lace.
Made a V-neck first, added the lace, and even put a small slit on each side of this top which I still wear today.  I would say the 50 bucks I paid for it way back then was worth it if I'm still getting use out of it. :) Adding a belt to any large T always looks nice too.

Learning To Do Video

Hi everyone,

I'll get quick to the point on this posting because I am trying to figure out how to use the video on my camera.

Now, it surely is not top of the line but I'm sure it can do the trick.

I figure it would be a lot easier for me to do a tutorial by Video than to take a picture and comment for each step.

Since it is only myself without anyone to help me, (when our children grow everyone is busy with their own things).

I was lucky enough to even have the camera given to me, but without a guide book to show me directions, and so far I haven't had luck trying to Google and get the one I need. (I hope they make them still) :)

Maybe...

My Widget

Well...I hope I'm saying it right, but I want a widget for other Bloggers to be able to add to their blog to follow me.

I have a couple that I had copied the html and pasted into my blog so now I have their widget....but for some reason I think I'm calling it by the wrong name...

Let me get back to you on that,  is it a Widget? or what the heck is it called?  

You do know what I'm talking about though...right?

I will continue this tomorrow when I get my facts straight. :)

Until then,

New Messenger Bag Recycled from Burlap Coffee Sack

Hello All,

I am so happy because I finally completed my first coffee sack messenger bag and am so happy with the outcome.

It did take me more time than I thought because I am so fussy with all the little details.


If you remember a couple of posts ago I mentioned when I went to Victoria Park and Kingston Road with my large plastic "Ikea" blue bag so that I could what ever fit into the bag.  The funny thing is

Sewing Without Patterns per say

I don't usually have a bought pattern that I work from when trying to create and or design.  What I do, is have different sizes and shapes that I've cut from bristol board to act as a guideline and then I take it from there.


I create as I go along according to what fabric I've chosen and what I have on hand for the lining plus any hardware that would match.


Most of my hardware is recycled from old belts, purses, or any other place I can find metal gadgets to use while creating a purse/bag, even jewellery because I only make One-Of-A-Kind designs. And that goes for everything I make.

You might see two bags made with the same fabric, like the one on top (picture taken inside) and then the bag I made on the bottom (picture taken outside) picture with the same main fabric, but totally different looking bag.  


The first one is listed in my shop Right Here and the second bag I decided to keep myself because I needed a new large bag, and since I love across the chest bags the best...it is mine now.:)


I'm almost finished the coffee burlap bag and can't wait to post a picture for all to see. I design as I go along and am always happy with the finished product.  


Anything I create, design, and put together I would proudly wear or use myself.   


I hope you see the quality in the work and most of all, the love I have in designing them.


You just have to be patient because it's only me right now doing it all.


I would love to see what you are working on and if you make your own patterns and do you already have the whole design in your head before you start your work.


Until next time.
