One of my favorite blogs is I Am Momma Hear Me Roar! Cheri has so many great ideas. I saw her posts for an upcycled hat and upcycled dress and, once again, I knew I was destined to make them.
Here's Kiki in her adorable new Princess hat:
And her new dress! I love the scrappy look of it. I wanted to use some cool graphic shirts, but I really only had plain ones. I plan on adding some stamps with fabric paint (a la IAMHMR), but that would require me actually taking a shower, getting dressed, getting the kids dressed and then moving my butt up to Walmart to get the paint--something I don't plan on doing for a few more hours.
I made one for Finn as well, and he loved it UNTIL he realized I cut up one of his old shirts to make it. Then he was just really really pissed and tried to throw it away. It wasn't even a shirt that he liked to wear AND it was too small for him now anyway. Dear Boy: I love you, but you have some major control issues. Unfortunately, I know where you get that trait.

this is WEIRD. i INSTANTLY thought of you when i saw those two project on IAMHMR. i meant to forward them to you and then got distracted. i just knew you were destined to make them, too! and look how great they turned out!! way to roar!!!
ReplyDeleteI saw those hats on SYTYC and loved them. You did an awesome job )
ReplyDeleteThat Princess hat is so cute--is that made from a too small shirt? I should be doing that with my little girl's small clothes!
ReplyDeleteLizzy-ALL old t-shirts! I am kicking myself that I just gave away a bagfull to goodwill now that I have a good use for them. And it seriously only took about an hour (although with little ones running around feels like at least 4 hours).
ReplyDeletei LOVE your hats!! this has been on my to-do list since i saw them... but i have yet to actually do it.
