I made a new outfit - sort of.
I had this pair of holy jeans. I've had them since before Kamri was born. They were a great find (only $12) and fit perfectly. I wore them almost everyday. So, needless to say they were getting old. They were getting holes in the knees so I put patches on the inside and stitched over the holes. Then I used a cheese grater and made a hole in the hip area (to make the other holes look a little more intentional), patched and sewed that up. That worked for a little while, but the holes in the knees kept getting bigger. Finally I decided it was time to make them into shorts since I needed some denim shorts anyway. So I cut them off, ironed the edges up, and sewed some crochet thread in some spots. (idea found at Get Craftin').
I came up with these. I like that I now have some denim shorts, but I really miss those jeans.
I also made the Tee (found idea at I am Momma...Hear me Roar). This is a black Tee I've had for YEARS. It was looking a little drab and needed some sprucing up. So I used metallic silver and metallic emerald green and stamped away. I love that I have a new outfit for almost no money.

Super cute, Gina! I love the t-shirt! and the Shorts Idea...I have a few pairs of jeans that are a little too big but I think would be awesome as shorts so I'll have to try that.
