Old dress to maxi skirt with yoga style waist band

Our friend, Amanda, came over with a dress that was falling apart and she had in her closet for a long time. She left it with me for a few days. I cut off the top, added a t-shirt sleeve top band and a few buttons, just because I love buttons :-). There was a small hole that I fixed with a piece from the area I cut off. Then I know how she loves pockets and the arm pit area had a great V shape so I used that area for the packet. I know, awwwwww an arm pit, but hey it is just a pocket. LOL She looks so cute in it :-)

A little Love Pallet wall

We wanted some insulation between our living room and one of the kids room. After getting a BUNCH of free pallets, my husband cut them apart. After we painted and stained some for effect. We then used construction adhesive and a nail gun to put the pallet pieces up. Then hung some photos of us, we call it the "US" wall :-) Then my husband decide it needed a little love, so he gave it some :-)

Men's shirt to amazing woman's top

This started out as a thrift store find about 2 years ago. After some cutting and sewing a bit here and there I now have an amazing summer top. The top band is shirring. The straps are some old lace I had laying around. I also sewed a liner into the top band,  that was cut from an old soft sheet.  No matter what you do nipple chaffing in the summer time sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
