handmade style


'
i made an apron for art-making! 
i had this t-shirt dress for years, and always loved the crocheted details, but it never fit well, so when i was weeding out my closet, contemplating twenty pieces, and simplifying, this one was on its way out. but i found a way to keep it for a very necessary purpose! i've wanted a studio apron forever, and just never bought one... so i was like, make it! of course! 
you can see my little informal DIY over here, 
including a video tutorial on how to make fabric flower rosettes if you are interested...
these little rosettes are very versatile: i used them on an apron meant to be destroyed by paint and other fun, but my sister had me make some for her wedding dress! those are the four wedding colors - each of the bridesmaids wore a different color dress, made by my amazing sister, jenna (and wore a matching flower in their hair that i was making at midnight before the wedding :) so sort of rustic and homey-feeling in some contexts can be fancy in another! :)
