Tshirts and More

Author: Psychodivamom / Labels: , , ,

It has been a while since I have shown some of my work I did with a bit of repurposing. I love to find new ways to use a piece of fabric or clothing instead of just junking it or turning into rags.

I made a few dresses for Amelie, and she loves them. I even made myself a little something (Yay)


 6 month dress made from a toddler Hawaiian print shirt. 
Women's shirt and scrap fabric to make a cool summer dress (4T)
Kind of punk rock, inky look shirt with bandanna for skirt. (4T)
Another junior shirt made into a fun rock and roll dress
Elastic cased in fabric for waistband (4T)


I love how fun and easy repurposing a tshirt can be. My daughters get an abundance of clothes and I spend less money for a unique look. Now if only I could find more purposes for my boys torn up clothes so they can be stylish and unique as well.

Sorry for the crappy picture. This is the only full length.
I made myself a loose, flowy, vest from a men's Volcom shirt. 
I love how it came out and that it involved no sewing.

Designer Infants

Author: Psychodivamom / Labels: , , , ,

I have been super busy with homeschooling my boys and balancing spending time with my girls. Let me tell you, that is one hectic way of life, but I am so glad I am able to do it with them. Teething fevers and cutting teeth, along with a 1st birthday and trying to get a handle on the boys made for a very eventful last 2 weeks. So i am back, and here to talk about dresses. Oh, how I love dresses, especially those designer duds!

I sit there and drool over designer clothing constantly, but let's face it, designer clothing for a child who may wear it once is pretty ridiculous. There is always something that I see that is so simple, yet it costs $300. Oi, that is a strike to the bank! So here are some of my currents that I am loving and seem like it wouldn't be too hard to turn into your own DIY project.

This Marc Jacobs looks like a lot of fun!
I am loving all the fun details on this Ralph Lauren dress.

The last one I really like is the ruffly Juicy Couture dress. 
It is a great take on the ruffle trend.
