made this just because I could.

This took way longer than I expected to make.
T-shirt material is not as friendly to work with.
The handle is another shirt I reversed tie dyed a year ago. Inside is tie dyed material I did last summer.  Im excited to use it. 
The patch i bought on ebay

making my first purse.

This is technically my second purse made from this pattern.  I gave first one away and didn't get any pictures.  Im including a Pic of the quilting magazine that has the pattern. Im going to sew the ends of the zipper shut.

Coverall's made from a thrifted Blanket.

I made these bigger than my size to accommodate clothes underneath.  Also a few things I would change- i would decorate after I make them. Honestly it took so much time to do that and in the end I had to alter them. It was difficult with all the embroidery and applique. 2- I absolutely love the elastic and buttons on the sides and around the base on the legs. However I would make the elastic shorter ( if I wear it over bulky clothes this may not be necessary.)
