when inspiration strikes

have no idea what came over me yesterday.  i was in a sewing/altering frenzy.  went thru the closet & grabbed a few things that i never wear (but had plans to) & went to work.

this was a dress i got a few yrs ago when i use to work at a practically defunct "department store".  it was on clearance for like $7 & i got an additional employee discount.  i LOVE the pattern of the cloth, how light weight it is.  but i'm a gal w/ hips, & the skirt part went straight down.  it did not work w/ my body type.  so...



modeling w/ my sternest "why you take pichure???!!!" look

& now it's a nice, flouncy shirt for spring.

& then i pulled this from the hubby's side of the closet.
i think this was during antone's gigilo/pimp phase that he decided just didn't quit fit w/ his comic book geek persona.  he hasn't worn it in yrs.  but i LOVE the lion design on the back.  i wanted this for myself.  so...





LURVE this design

hmm i might have to revisit this & take in the sides.  it's a little on the baggy side around the middle.  i promise you i am not this ponchy.
