reconstruction

I’ve always been amazed to see some really cool reconstruction of clothing out in the blogging world. Sometimes when one attempts to make 2 things into one- it sort of looks that way…but I am never disappointed when I read my collection of blogs.
Anyway, the curtains above are for my sister’s shop. I can’t take the credit in the fabric selection. She handed off two sets of IKEA curtains and said “do it!”. So I did and I like them. I have a bunch of the curtain fabric left and think I will make some fun skirts for Penny and Ellie- as long as they don’t stand in the bathroom at Moveable Feast for too long, I think the “curtain secret/reconstruction” will not be revealed.

And another sort of reconstruction/reusing…
This shirt pattern that I love and have made about 6 for my girls has gone Fall/ Winter. I used 10 cent cordurouy and leftover fabric from my sister’s bumper pad project. Fun, huh? I love using what I have because honestly, I can’t justify buying more fabric until I use some up!
Oh- and speaking of my sister and bumper pads, she goes in tonight to get the whole birthing process going! I plan on going in tomorrow morning and helping her with the birth or just cry my eyes out all day long. Yep, it’s going to be one of those days and I can’t wait.
