D D I Y

Apparently I don't do it myself. God forbid I actually complete a DIY project. Everything I get close to finishing either sits in my closet with safety pins and tape holding it together or it's half assed and never satisfying to wear. That's basically the story of these two DIY'S.

First, my pillow case and shoulder pad creation.
I found this old pillow case in my room, made of a great t-shirt material and also faded to perfection from sun bathing on the window sill of my room. I was just going to cut it into a tank, but I thought I'd try something different since it already had corners.

I'm not even going to show you my other DIY, its a shredded shirt. Yes, a shredded shirt (so last year). I started it 5 months ago in San Francisco and have finally had some real progress. I will share when it is fully finished, for once.
