Thrifty Sense -001

Yesterday, I bought a fat Ray Liotta button up from Value Village for $4 and turned it into a priceless summer dress! I took off the collar and sleeves, brought it in at the waist, fixed the edges and made a belt. My photographer is in Alaska, so these pics will have to do. Now all I need to do is throw a backyard pachanga! Too bad Portland is still such a hazy shade of winter :P

Dorf Goes Modelling

Here are pics of my first dress to sew all by myself. This was also my first professional photo shoot. We had some techno pumping and lines of blow just to the side. My photographer wanted to remain anonymous. Why? I do not know.

Dressy#One turned out 5 sizes too big but I still like it. The pattern is Cynthia Rowley for Simplicity 2472. This fabric was only 3 dollars a yard in the bargain bin- hard to believe, ehhh?!

NOT GOTH

I won a bag filled with DIY goodies (crap) for posting this t-shirt design on another blog.
