Painted Bead T-shirts

Upcycled shorts/cargos

From a pair of my cargos that had a hole in the knee - a pair of pants and a pair of shorts for Travis. Just two seams on each and either a hem or a waistband!

The pants are the current fave's - because of all the pockets!

Painted necklace T's

From last school hol's - unfortunatly I didn't get any pic's of Harper, Kitea's or Demi's (G'ma's :rofl:) but This is Bianca's. Not bad for a 5 year old's first attempt!

Bianca, Kitea and Harper had a blast doing these - super easy and so bright! Kitea's above right, Bianca's above left and Harper's below.

Hairbands

School holidays - B and her cousins - headbands made from a pair of tights. We got about 20 from one pair and a pack of precut felt shapes from the $2 shop. Copied from here http://www.everynothingwonderful.com/2011/04/tutorial-felt-flower-headbands-from.html

T shirts for travis

Upcycled from old adult Tshirts - fun and easy! And cost about 20c each!

Baby shoes

For Cousin Craig's baby Jake.

Green corduroy on the outside, blue felt on the inside.

Travis' Dinosaur mitten (singular!)

first attempt! Next time remember to follow instructions - sew buttons on first!

Felt flowers

Needs a button in the middle :)

Toweling shorts - for the Variety Bash 70's night!

And I made a white floral pair too! Will have to find a pic!

Fur boots - for Lachlan

First try - but happy with the result! (Except the fluff on the pic!)

Basket for Grandma (made out of a tea towel and some spare denim), Rattle for Demi (both sides) and a Pants for T and a skirt for D out of the same pair of adult pants....

short shorts!

Toweling or polarfleece with fire engines?

Hoodie - polar fleece

It wasn't my choice of fabric - but he loved it. Fabric cost $2.50 ( for half a meter) and there is left overs! I might make a blue hoodie with the hood lining in this.

dress - repurposed

yep - it was a size 18 ladies skirt that I got from the opshop for $2.50..... Took about 10- 15 mins (excluding try on times....) as it was just taking in the sides (left the zip at the back) Most of that was spent on the straps, so would be heaps faster to just sew on some wide ribbon onto each side to tie at the tops....

When it's done it's dash as a dress, she has asked for it to be cut down into a short skirt - maybe with some tule underneath - easy to do!

(PS she HATES photos - and thinks I am taking a video, so is dancing - which is why she always looks so random! Not helped by the sticking plaster on her chin this week - she fell out of a tree at school!)

Towel dress

For putting on after swimming.

Just a towel shirred, with straps - easy peasy.
