I call this one "Roman Holiday" because this shirt was originally bought to wear home from the hospital after I had Roman...just a basic Tee and track suit idea. Well, now the shirt is too big and was begging for a makeover!
Before:
OMG - WARNING: UGLY PHOTO AHEAD!!! THIS WAS TAKEN JUST HOURS AFTER ROMAN WAS BORN SO DON'T JUDGE THE PUDGE!!! haha
After:
The 2nd project is called "The Laurie" because Laurie Andrews has been such a great cheerleader to me as I've been crazily discussing what projects I want to make. It's also a gift for her if I can talk Coco (my dressform) into taking it off!!!! She thinks she looks too cute in it. hehe It's made from a size XXL $3 (clearance) shirt from Wal-Mart...I must be crazy because I saw such great potential in something no one else wanted! Laurie, I hope you like it!

My next project is turning one of my old skirts into a sundress for the girls...wish me luck! Actually wait and wish me luck on the project after that, which is Allie's baptism dress. No, it's not a remake either so I'm extra nervous. The good thing is that I have plenty of time for Grandma to come to the rescue, right?! ;-)

You need to enter those clothing design blogs that give you stuff when you win or sell your design.
Shabby Apple has done a few.

WOW!!!! Sarah you have SO many talents, and I love it!! I love both the shirts that you re-made into "Sarah's fashion designer magazine." I sure miss you and would love to learn some tips from you. LOVE YA!!
Sarah, you are amazing! I can't believe you can turn an ordinary t-shirt into that. Amazing!
Amazing! I especially loved the white ex-t from walmart. You are so talented! When do you find time to do all of these projects?
Sarah! You are so talented! I hopped on over to check out what you were doing- I still remember teaching Allie when she was in nursery and we were all in the university ward! Is she really getting baptized? My how time flies. Hope you're doing well!

Hi Sara (I"m rachel's sis--we only met like once!) I wanted to check out your blog and loved your refashioning projects--I want to copy you! I've been refashioning things for years, but I have had some real duds lately which frustrated my sewing motivation. Thanks for your post--I think I'll try again!
So great!! Really amazing and so talented you are miss lady!! I wish I had the skills or at least you as a neighbor to show me your tricks!! :)
