I made this jellyfish felt aplique pillow for my department’s dirty santa game.
I started out by sketching a basic jellyfish then cutting the different pieces out of felt and hand stitching them together.
I then sewed the aplique onto black fabric, stuffed it, and tada!
I was very flattered that my pillow got stolen multiple times and in the end my Professor Perry Morgan got to take it home! :)
Outfit of the day with new original Affordable Adorable Bunny Shirt :)
Hand painted Bunny Shirt with lace trim and daisy detail
made by Affordable Adorable :)
ps if I offered one of a kind shirts for sale would anyone be interested in them?
the other weekend we had an Anything But Clothes party, which to the rest of the world probably means one thing but to a bunch of theater kids it means showing off our creativity and innovation any way we can!
last year I was lame and didn’t make an outfit for the ABC party because I knew I couldn’t outdo the year before (click here to see) but this year I finally had another stroke of genius.
I cut up a large t-shirt (which is technically clothes) into a short halter dress then I spent 3hrs sewing on paper plates that I had cut into sections. I am really pleased with the outcome and it was a big hit at the party!
I added some paper plate details in my hair and some crazy false lashes and… ta-da!
everyone really went all out, I was so proud of our departments commitment and creativity, they never cease to amaze me :)
ABC (Anything But Clothes) party!! I made a dress made out of paper plates
more pictures coming soon :)
My shirt from SZMOON came today!!!! I traded her for this painted moon shirt I made.
I love it! Thank you Selina!
p.s. I promise to get pictures of my newly decorated room posted soon and announce the give away winner (sorry it’s so late, school and rehearsals starting back have left me super busy)
Sorry I haven’t been posting lately but I’ve been moving! (back into my dorm) and this year I have this really awesome couch but it didn’t exactly fit the rest of my decor
So I painted this curtain based on the flowers on the couch and the colors that are already in my room. Now I am not an expert on painting or on flora but I think I can live with this
here are my completed thrift store shorts!
I cut them to the desired length, frayed the edges, and I had to take the side seams in a bit to make them fit just right
I added a beaded detail up the side because I couldn’t find studs :( and I cut some slits along the pocket to rough them up a bit
lastly I added a Yin Yang side to the back pocket :)
and for reference here is what the shorts looked like before I started
Finished top that I made for Selina of SZmoon.net! I’m trading it for one of her original creations. Hope she likes it!
It’s hand dyed and hand painted as well as cut, cropped, and sewn by me :) look for similar tops to be available soon!!
