Well, I may be no Blake Lively, but my handmade shirt is pretty darn close! I recently took on this Triangle Gem T-shirt project for Brit + Co and I have to say — it’s the perfect way to keep yourself busy. Am I little crazy for taking this on? Yes, probably. I hope I’m not …
As a long-time (admittedly) geeky crafter, I’ve somehow never made a duct tape dress. The opportunity just never seemed to come up. And if you’re familiar with the “nitty gritty”crafting world, you know how duct tape dresses are one of the popular projects that many people attempt. It’s right up there with vinyl record bowls, …
Festival season is upon us, and summer is so near (thank goodness!). Luckily for us DIYers, festival season gives us even more reasons to craft up a storm. I teamed up with eHow to teach you how to make a rhinestone bra, just in time for your outdoor music adventures. There’s a good …
I’ve got yet another DIY at Brit + Co this week! This time, it’s a watercolor jacket made from a plain sweatshirt. I’ve always loved working watercolors, and fabric dye is the closest thing I’ll get to it (at least, for clothing projects). All it takes is four steps and a few supplies. Read …

This time of the year is perfect for everything metallic, shiny, and glittery. I recently whipped up this skirt just in time for NYE, but I’ll probably be bringing it out for many dinner parties throughout the year. I’m in love with the liquid-y metal look of this jersey. Want to make it, too? Follow …
When it comes to design, I love simple statement elements that make an impact. This holds true for absolutely anything; I’m talking everything from altered art to drawing to DIY. For this project, I used basic grosgrain ribbon to create a Strappy Layering Bra, creating a serious “oomph” factor for an otherwise plain top. It’s …
If you’re anything like me, you own quite the collection of fabric scraps and remnants. And if you’re really like me, you like to put them to good use. So, for this week’s project, I put a spin on a pair of well-loved, black denim jeans with a few plaid flannel scraps. My finished project cost next …
