saying i like to make things is an understatement. since the time i could start crafting and cooking, i was in the kitchen or at the kitchen table making cookies or working on my latest masterpiece a.k.a. coloring in my disney colprbook. as i got older though i was able to try out new things, like scrapbooking. when i tell you i was obsessed with scrapbooking i’m not exaggerating, at all. me and michael’s crafts store were (and still remain to be) t for tight. i collected jolee’s stickers as if i had a hoarding problem, but it’s cool, i accept my eccentricities. now that i love fashion and clothes i decided to get crafty with them too. in no way am i fashion designer, but i like to do some diy projects now and again. i was on another blog, honestly wtf, and i saw their take on a sequined sweater, so i decided to try it out. let me tell you, that sweater took a hell of a long time to make, but it was so worth it. i also played around with a jean shirt and an old gingham shirt and patched it up, gave it a little heart (cheesy joke, once again.) basically, at this point in my life, i’m practically valentino.

Haa, I have a really cool vintage Levi’s snap front denim western shirt that my husband has worn to threads and I keep retrieving it from his donation bags. I have decided to sacrifice one of my plentiful J Crew ginghams to do the same thing.
How did you fuse the gingham collar on the old denim?
Can you please supply more pictures of this super cute design. Very nice blog!
Xoxoxo

I basically measured the gingham collar against the denim one, and then VERY carefully cut it out haha. I’ll definitely look through my photos and try to find some of the older ones! Thank you!
Great artistry, and was it somehow
fused or sewn onto the denim shirt?
I would love to see some photos of this cute design.
Poor gingham shirt though ;(
Xxoo
It was sewn onto the shirt! It took a little bit of time, but it was worth it! The shirt had gotten way too small, so I decided to use it for something purposeful haha. I checked, but I don’t have any more photos. I only took a few last year!
