Repurposing

I have very busy repurposing things around the house lately.

First, I pilfered an old shirt from Dave for a dress for A. It was a fairly straight-forward task. I followed this tutorial. She loved the dress. I have one more shirt waiting to be transformed.Next, I turned my attention to shirt of E's onto which I had spilled a drop of bleach. I decided to try reverse tie-dyeing. Voila a new look! E loves it.
Next up were some baby legwarmers for the wee folk. I grabbed two pairs of my knee highs and transformed them into legwarmers for the kiddos. Rave reviews for the third time!

I totally dig those argyle legwarmers! Nice job on everything!

I LOVE those legwarmers, you did SUCH a great job. Was it easy to finish the 'hem'? And do they unravel? I have some hideous kneesocks that I will never again wear, but on my kids, they'd look fab :)

No unraveling yet
