I've been sneaking down to my craft room whenever I get a chance lately. I've become obsessed with designing new things and having a project. Here are a few of my latest creations.
Wrangler Rex. I love shirts with the cowboy cut, but all the designer shirts like this are way more than I would ever spend on a shirt. So, I bought this regular polo at Target and sewed on the paisley print and the shoulder strips.
The back is my favorite part.
For Baden I did the same thing, but his was just a t-shirt to start with and he had a big stain on the front top. I sewed on a mock collar and then added the cowboy look.
Once again, my favorite part is the back.
Here's my latest creation. I love all the cute, trendy dresses with the high waist band and belt, but they are all VERY short. I made my own, using an old shirt I had that had become too short. I cut it off and sewed on this fabric as a skirt. I made it long enough to be modest, yet still keeping the trendy, sassy look. The fabric was a remnant at the store, so it was only $1.99. Then I added a chunky belt. Tadaaaaahhh!
Here's a slightly closer look.
I make a billion mistakes as I go along, but I'm having so much fun figuring out how to do new things. I love gaining a new skill.PS - Can you tell Rex and I have the same olive skin? :) Oh my goodness are we glowing in the dark right now!

Cheri, you are so talented! I LOVE that dress you made and the shirts are freakin' adorable. And you are such a gorgeous girl. If I didn't already know how awesome you are and love you, I'd hate you. :)
Those are so cutie! I love that you came up with a boy way to embelish a shirt. I've been struggling with new ideas for the boys. You nailed it! The dress is great. I love the cut. I've been wanting to try one like that for the girlies. You are very inspiring. I can't wait to craft with you.
So,so cute. Very clever of those boys shirts. Granny great use to make cowboy shirts for the boys. She would love all your talents. You look smashing in your new dress. I wish I could craft with you. Maybe some day.
Oh, by the way. Those are the cutest boys ever.

Adorable little shirts! Love the dress. I didn't know you modeled too! Way to go!
