Has anyone ever told you that you are a genius?? And also AWESOME?? Because you are! I would say that was the most incredible thing I've ever seen made from bicycle tubes, but since it's the only thing I have ever seen made from bicycle tubes, that does not do the piece or your talent justice. Therefore, that is the most awesome garment I have ever seen made out of something other than fabric. You ROCK!

Thanks everyone! She wore it to a family cookout yesterday and everyone loved it...her cousin even asked if I could make her 2 girls dresses like this. ^_^

This year, my "niece" needed some new school clothes. She had these two cute dresses called "Twirly Girl" dresses that her mamaw found in a boutique, so she went online to find them because she wanted to get a few more. Well, cute had a pretty hefty price tag, so I took a look and was like, I can't believe they're charging that much for that!!! So I was like, "pshaw, I can make those." And I did! This is the first one I did, the skirt a full circle skirt, made from purple polyester 4-way stretch knit, and the top is basically a tank top with flutter sleeves. It was once a fairly hideous button up 2-way stretch rayon XL women's blouse we found in a thrift store. The buttons are also from the blouse. It took about 2 1/2 hours to make, and cost a grand total of $6.26. I hope you like it! ^_^


(the neckline isn't wonky, the dress just slipped down her shoulder a little bit. )

Very cute... it gives great volume to your cosplay dress. Also... I think you may be my evil twin! Or perhaps I am your evil twin? Doppelganger? Anyway, we look A LOT alike. It's freaky.

GENIUS. Thanks so much for sharing this!

I've never heard of a fatty before, but OMG that looks absolutely delicious. Good job!

that is the most awesome thing I've ever seen. I play wow, and I must say, the likeness is INCREDIBLE. You so totally win.

Ooh I would like this! I have very few craft supplies, since I got rid of my entire stash before I moved across the country, and a student's income doesn't really allow for hoarding yarn and fabric.

OOh this would be fun. I just got turned on to Bones recently, am on season 2 currently. I haven't done a swap yet but I think this would be a great place to start.

*Raises hand* The day after I got my new ipod nano, I dropped it onto concrete and chipped the corner of the screen. >_<

I love the button strap for holding the earbuds, genius.
