teddy bears

Here's my very first teddy bear attempt ever. I think he looks good, don't you think? Of course, the furry fabric hid all my messy stitching and seam closing bits.
But still. He is adorable, and so fuzzily huggable, too! I love 'im.

my shorts!

Here are those jeans-to-shorts I worked on recently! I'm so proud. *grins*

These were a pair of capris, which fit perfectly well, but were really weirdly flared at the ends, just above the ankles, and it looked really strange. And after a few fruitless trips to the mall, trying to find a cute pair of shorts that were also cheap, I decided to make my own. (I mean, the ones I wanted in Kamiseta were 800 pesos! I can't spare that for shorts!)

Here's how they look. Sorry I don't have any "before" pictures, I wasn't able to borrow a camera yet.

Here's a close up of my spontaneous embroidery on the pocket: Look at my tabs! Oooooohh, yeah.

Close up of the vintage buttons Mom never got around to using:

Tadah! Possibly my best clothing reconstructing project ever.

Now I have shorts! Thank goodness.
