In case you haven’t noticed, I really like Anthropologie. I don’t love their prices, but as a 30 something, I like that they make clothes that are age appropriate and interesting. (I find that most stores either want me to dress like I am a teenager or an older lady!) Anyway I have made a…
So we are finally here!!! If you haven’t read Part 1 and Part 2, of the making of this dress, feel free to go back and look. As a reminder here is the In An Instant dress from Anthropologie. And now here is my version of the dress made for $11 from materials bought at…
So I probably should have included this picture in Part 1, since it’s the last skirt shot, but I was only really including pictures from one upload session, and this one didn’t fit, so it’s officially here. 😉 After getting the waistband all sewn into a circle and with its elastic, I then evenly divided…
So remember how I said a while back I made my daughter a “anthro” dress made entirely out of things purchased from Walmart, and then I got busy with school and didn’t post the pictures or anything? Well, I have finally gotten my behind in gear and blogged about it! As a reminder, here is…
So today was fan-tab-ulous weather wise (in the 80s for the first time this year!) we threw open all the windows, and aired out the house while Paul worked in the yard, and I cleaned in my studio (slipcovering an ottoman that is in my studio counts as cleaning right? I thought so.) Anyway this…
In case you missed part 4 here it is I decided that the cardigan looked a little boxy on me (it’s a large, and I am a small who usually wears a Medium so that I can have slightly loose fitting clothing.) So I decided to take in the side seams a little at the…
Back to Part 3 in case you missed anything. Next I put black sewing thread in my sewing machine, and then mostly followed along the lines (anywhere I didn’t follow the lines it didn’t really matter, because once the paper was gone who was to know?) Then I tore the paper away to expose the…
Here is Part 2 in case you missed it When looking at the original Anthropologie cardigan, you can see where the chiffon is placed, it is caught in place with the black stitching and then eventually the beading too. I cut out irregular circles from the dyed pieces and then placed them down on the…
In case you missed it, here is part 1 So step 1 was making the little silk chiffon patches to put on the front – I luckily happened to have silk chiffon scraps in my stash from another project, so they were free! The color was a great neutral skin color, so all I would…
I Love this cardigan from Anthropologie, but did not love the $98 price tag I decided that I could definitely make something similar for less – little did I know for how much less! I went into the Salvation Army Store on Wed (that’s the day all clothes are half price) and found this grey…
