I've been half-heartedly going through my clothes and trying to get rid of some. It's ridiculous how much stuff I actually have, given that I only wear about 3 things (shorts, t-shirts and thongs in summer; jeans, long-sleeved tees and cowboy boot in winter). I came across this rad tutorial the other day that explains how to make kids' pants from old t-shirts, so I've been sorting through everything I don't wear anymore to make pants for my own little creepy-crawly (well, not so much creepy, but very, very crawly). I was about to cut up this old Bonds tee, but I loved the colour so much I stopped myself.
I bought a bunch of these tees last summer when I was heavily with child, and the thin cotton made them perfect for the 30-plus days. Now, of course, they're all stretched in the belly area, so I kind of hiked it up with a little badge to avoid the pouchy thing that was happening. Maybe I can take them in and get some more wear out of them? Or maybe they'll end up on Baboushka ;-)
(purple tee: Bonds
long-sleeved tee: also Bonds
badge: Milk Thieves
skirt: thrifted
boots: men's cowboys, eBay)

Love those t shirts- have them in about 5 different colours.
oooh didn't follow your pants from a tee link, but suspect it is the same one i used. Super easy. Good luck, and post pics. I will post pics of pjs i made for my daughter using that tute for the pants.

I'm interested to see the results. Also, I love your image of the material stacked on the cupboard from your December 4 post. Very bohemian and yet 50s housewife at the same time x
oh and is lilac wine a reference to Jeff Buckley? Oh to be in the 90s once again.

Thankyou, everyone! xxx
The pants turned out reasonably well (thanks for your help, Ma!), and yes, I was referring to Jeff ;-)
The boots are great. I need me some black cowboy boots.
I picked up a thrifted orange leather jacket today. I'm a little scared at owning so much orange leather...but also thrilled.
