I wanna sew

This weekend I have been obsessed with ripping all my cds and putting them on my itouch. I plan on soon having NO cds in my car and having my itouch play through my stereo in my car with one of those adapters. Ya know why? Cause I"M SO SICK OF SCRATCHED CDS! Also the bulk of them in my tiny car is annoying.

I've been checking out craftster.org to see neat new crafting ideas. These are some of my favorites. I've really been kinda thinking about making some clothes either completely from fabric and patterns or doing some altering of existing old clothing I have and doing a "new dress a day" type thing.

Here's what I love: Click on pictures to get links to their projects

I love this dress this girl made. She is amazing. Wow.. I wish I had this exact dress in my size. I WANT IT. Though me doing 3 mths of yarn work on my own..unlikely.



















Okay this girl is too cute. I love her dress she made. I mean you gotta really be brave and have a fun heart to make such a quirky dress, but look so good in it too. I love this. But I'm afraid I could not pull it off. I'm a bit on the older side. I'd love to see this in white instead of blk too.




















Okay I love these jeans. I will be doing the EXACT same thing or something very similar. I love the idea. Its such a great one. I typically go my own way with a technique or something like this, but I really really love these jeans. This girl is amazingly creative.



















This girl has an amazing how to make a scalloped edge dress hem. I want to try this.

















Last one, I know you are probably bored at this point. I watch too much Project Runway and love this stuff!!
I love this dress pattern. It looks like something I could maybe do?? I'd have to find a pattern I like.

I am doing the same thing with my ipod too. It is so much easier in the car than leaning over to change the cd while I am supposed to be driving and takes up much less room. Argh! and those scratched CD's!
The dresses are so cool, can't wait to see what you come up with.

oof! they are all adorable and i can kind of actually see you WEARING all of these! (i'd maybe wear the jeans... is that stamping with bleach or paint? i wanna try bleach on denim!) i totally agree the second dress should be white... or pale blue, like sky? even GREY like a rainy sky, from which a rainbow is emerging!

ps: i just got one of those adapters for my car... SO SO SOOOOOOOO awesome tho mostly i use it to listen to audio books which are my current obsession. :)
