I'm having a recon-athon!

I have a heap of clothes to tear apart and reconstruct today! Check back for lost of posts today showing what i've finished!

Todays mission

Turn this X-Large womans snap-down shirt


into a cotton yoga skirt (shown with the RTW skirt I used as a template)


and cotton gouchos



using only the shirt, new thread, and repurposed elastic (ripped from an old pair of maternity pants)

Silas Diaper

I made a set of cloth diapers for a friend of mine. She donated the last 2 I needed to make her towards my 3day Fund-raising on Etsy. Here is one that was finished, posted, and sold yesterday.

Nike+

At nights and on weekends, my favorite thing to do is lace up my sneakers and go for a run. I wasn't a "born runner" like some people. I have to work up to it, and that can be difficult with asthma, and arthritis in my knee.
To track my runs, etc, I use the Nike+ system, which i LOVE. You should check it out. It's cheap and sooo easy to use.
You have to either buy ($$$) Specially made Nike+ shoes for your sensor, or buy a pouch to wear it on your laces. But the pouches I found were ugly and I don't like ugly. lol
So i made a pouch for myself

Last weeks recon

That I totally forgot to post *duh*
I took this t-shirt that I used to wear a lot and hacked it up into a layered look T for Lily.



and after:

Nursing top into a toddler dress

I had this nursing top from Motherhood that I loved when Lily was a newborn. The material is nice b/c it's SUPER stretchy. But obviously I have no need for it now that she's been weaned a while.
So I chopped her up and made Miss Lily a new dress from it :)
