i cut up t-shirts to make them into tanks
just recently i cut up my favorite jeans to make a skirt... unfortunately im not so good with a sewing machine, i prefer power tools so i safety pinned it together but put the pins on the inside so they are not visable. and it works great. i made it so that it is a very linear skirt, lots of sharp edges. i can dig it.

you guys MUST see jess's idea for the bball jersey she has. she's too wuss ass to do it, but i think it would look cool. i wont spill the designer's ideas, but convince her to do it!!
i alter/cut up a lot of things... just to make things fit better and look neater. ill take some pics soon.. need some ideas for new projects though.

I drive my mom crazy when I go shopping with her.
She;ll grab something from the rack and ask me if I like it. My answer is almost always, "if I can rip[ it up I would". I'm also a procrastinator, I have a shitload of projects I planned on doing but they'll happen one day. I rip, sew, re-rip, lace, piece together alot of things. My fave summer project is making halters our of bandanas, soo hawt. I think I almost enjoy reconstructing something really cool more than starting from scratch. I guess it all depends if the "from scratch" coolness beats the easier, reconstructed coolness.

post away, I love seeing other peoples creations.
I'd post mine if I had a cam... Maybe I'll just start taking pics with a normal cam and scan them. i should be collecting pictures for my portfolio anyways.

.....same jeans
then i cut off the bottoms, grabbed some elastic and turned the flares into mutha f ankle bitters!!!! i think i might redo the ankles a little tighter, but i'm still pretty happy with the pants....they sell Acne jeans with the elastic round the ankle at Bruce for like $275 but i couldn't bring myself to buy em so i thought i'd give it a try
