Re-purposing some clothes

Just a quick reminder...this is the last few days for my blog candy giveaway :)

So I hit a little sewing patch...instead of crafting with paper, I had an itch to sew :)  Sometimes when my mojo isnt flowing for paper crafts.  I guess thats why I started sewing.
 

 
Here is a pic of two shirts that I had.  The white tank top actually has a coffee stain running down the middle.  So I decided to use that and this brown top that I never wear anymore.  I usually donate clothes instead, but I didnt wanna send the one with the stain. 

I cut out parts of the shirt that I didnt wanna use.  And kinda did a switch.  I used the bottom of the white tank top as the bottom of a shirt for my DD.  The orange fabric is a fat quarter (the same I used on one of my iphone covers) with ribbon as straps. 

For my shirt I just added the brown to the bottom and its kinda a flowy maternity shirt.  Or even a quick top to put on before going out to the beach.  Just a quick project that barely costed an extra money.  If you have all the tools and extras laying around :) And another way to be more green!  Thanks for stopping by...gotta run cause got DDs party coming up this weekend!!
