Carolyn Braden's TOIE: A Beaded Friendship Bracelet

Carolyn Braden's Reclaimed Burberry Tee

I recently found a Burberry t-shirt in a Goodwill on Sanibel Island. It was a size large but only $7.00; a steal! I knew I could do something with it to make it fit. I cut and tied the sides (see my YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS7-aB__Sg0 on how to do this), cut it into a v-neck and used scrap fabric to make it sleeveless. 

It's now a wearable tunic. I also made a bracelet out of more scrap fabric. My maine coon, Monica, is modeling the bracelet.

Carolyn Braden's DIY No Sew (or Sew) Tutu

Here's my latest creation....the DIY tutu. I've loved tutu's since I can remember and they just so happen to be very in style right now. This one is for my niece, the little ballerina. You can do this either by knotting elastic or by sewing elastic (no sew or sew). I chose to do a little tacking to make it look as close to perfect as I could. I will be making a how to video soon. It was very simple fashionable craft.
