This week I've been organizing, and getting rid of a lot of stuff. I still had a lot of clothes from high school that I had refused to get rid of because for some reason I still thought they were cool. I finally accepted that I wouldn’t wear those clothes again so I went through them and either Goodwilled them or put them in the “save for repurposing” pile. Yesterday during my organizing I found these capris:
I loved these capris so much in high school. I’ve been keeping them for way too long… but I decided that I couldn’t get rid of them fully - so yesterday I cut them up for fabric and made these for Carly:
Now she can have a part of me! Isn’t that little pocket so cute!
I made the pattern all by myself! I used some of Carly’s jeans to come up with one, and it was a cinch after cutting the pieces out. It took about an hour from start to finish. The hardest part was sewing the pocket and the button on. My next projects are to transform a pink houndstooth skirt into a cute jumper for Carly, and make another diaper bag for my sister. I love sewing!
