Crafts I want to make: Modified clothing edition

While browsing some fun crafty sites this week, I have found quite a few fun crafts that all have the same theme: Clothes! Check out these awesome crafts:

Anthropologie-Inspired Ruffled Shirt

Tatertots & Jello is a new blog to me but I'm definitely adding them to the blog roll. A tutorial for how to make this awesome shirt using a basic t-shirt and supplies from the Dollar Store can be found here.


Floral T-Shirt Refashion


Also from Tatertots & Jello is this fun t-shirt re-do. I think it might be fun to do with scraps of chiffon instead of (or in addition to) an identical shirt.


Ruffled Peasant Shirt from an Old T-shirt

This tutorial from the Brassy Apple upcycles a plain-old unisex t-shirt and turns it into something totally cute and fun.


Cute Little Girl Bandana Dress
This is another one from Tatertots & Jello (anyone else noticing a trend?). Her tutorials teaches you how to take a kid's tank top and a bandana and turn them into a cute farm-friendly dress. She also includes directions fro upcycling an adult top to make the top part of the dress. Check it out here.


Toddler Leg Warmers

I suppose you could make leg warmers for adults following the same directions if you had a large enough sweater. She even claims to have another project you can do with the rest of the sweater (I can't wait!). Check out her tutorial here.

Babylegs!

I heart babylegs. Those cute little one size fits most leg/arm warmers for kids. When your baby is an infant, they are a pants substitute...keeping your baby's legs warm but allowing easy access for diaper changes. As your baby's legs get longer, you can wear them under a skirt of shorts to keep the lower parts of their legs warm. Or you can wear them like armwarmers.

Fun right? Unfortunately, they're usually a bit pricey - usually selling for between $10 and $12 a pair. So as much as a like them, our little person-in-progress doesn't have any...yet. Today, though, Babylegs decided to have a sale. They had a TGIF buy one, get one free sale on their baby legs that were already on sale. So I got all these:

for only $16 - shipped! Sweetness. If it's still Friday when you read this, you can get in on the sale, too.

Step 1: Become a fan of Babylegs on Facebook here

Step 2: Check out the Babylegs on this page and go crazy. I bought the four pairs above and got free shipping. I'm not sure if you have to buy a certain number before you get free shipping, or if it's standard.

Step 3: When you check out, enter coupon code "FANtastic" to get 50% off your order

Enjoy. :-)
