I cannot sew.. But my mom can! Mwahahah!

The other day my friend came over and we somehow ended up deciding to dye her hair. So my mom handed me this cute red shirt with a crest on the front. It has three-quarter sleeves, and my friend fell instantly in love with it! So, we cut it up, and sewed up one side, adding ribbon to hold it up. Now, with a nice string of pearls from my mom's craft box (yay for vintage costume jewelry!) I have a new shirt, for nothing at all! And I am obsessed. My next project is to take a sweater and make it into a bag by sewing the bottom, the sleeves together to make the strap, and you can sling the hood over to cover the top. It is so cute, and the best thing is you can find and use any sweater you want, so it's extra original. A lot of people I see use sewn up shorts as a purse, but I like the sweater idea too, and it's easy to do. I need my mom to help me though >_>

When I finish it, I'll put up pictures for you to see. Also, I will upload pics to show you how to make a belt out of ribbon and pop can tabs in an hour or two, tops! I would give a link, but sadly I can't seem to find a place with clear instructions and helpful pictures :/
