I upcycled a thrifted Men's Polo into a two-piece set. I drafted the pattern myself, the mini skirt has a yoke, box pleats, and an elastic waistband. I kept the collar on the top and made it into a halter with a lettuce hem! Everything is sewn with an overlock & finished with a double needle.

I save cereal boxes from dumpsters to make my stuff. Cinnamon Toast Crunch and lego pieces for this one.

Just finished this funky chefsknife. The blade is made of AEB-L stainless steel and the handle is made of old skateboards. Let me know what you think of it.

My mom was looking for her tablecloth! I think it’s nicer as a dress! Can’t trust me around any fabric!
