Cooler Than A Body On Ice...

...Hotter than the rolling dice!


Let There Be Rock - AC/DC Minidress
This project has been a lot of fun so far.  With the only plan in mind to convert a men's AC/DC t-shirt into a minidress, I've been kind of winging this one just to see what I can come up with.  

It may not look like much so far, but I've added a sweetheart neckline with ruching in the center.  Also, because cutting off the sleeves of the shirt made the back of the almost-dress really low, I made the sleeves into a band (on the right of the pic) that mimics the neckline and will go across the upper/middle back.  The lace is just a placeholder for halter straps that will be added - likely salvaged from a matching skirt.  It will end up just covering your bum...perfect for wearing with tights (or alone if you're brave enough!)

Slate Gray & Mint Dream

My sewing machine is in the hospital!  I've had to put on hold quite a few projects, including some that were for my own closet and wanted to get done before I left for vacation.  I had to stick to stuff that didn't need machine sewing.  Enter drab 50's-style dark gray dress.  Cinched waist, full pleated skirt.  I had just a few hours to get it up and running and pack it for my trip.  I salvaged some awesome mint green pearlescent buttons from a vintage raincoat to replace the 3 buttons on the front of the dress that were black.  I also cuffed up the sleeves and added cuff buttons.  You'll be seeing me in this one around town!
