fashion friday- upcycled goodness

The kids are off school for a few days, so the crafts are flying off the handle over here.  There are diaramas, cotton balls, google eyes, and tiny little scraps of paper as far as the eye can see.

My sewing machine is fired up, and today we tried out the art of upcycling. 

What was once an old shirt and pair of socks, has been transformed into a lovely skirt and leg warmer combo for Syd!  Now that I know what a gathering stitch is, we made a cute little flower to pin on her shirt.... to pull it all together of course :)

Happy Friday all!
