It's Never Too Late to Transform Dyed Fabric!

Last month I was experimenting with ice bleaching a piece of dark purple linen/polyester fabric. The final result didn't impress me much, so I decided to dye it black and then bleach dye it again. The result was more than satisfactory, and I really liked the combination of different colors which give it more depth to the fabric. I am very excited to make something from it. It's never too late to transform your fabric, just try it!

Just Cute Tops

I've liked the idea of using the same pattern to create at least two different versions of the same garment, and this is no exception. I created two tops that can be worn off the shoulder or as a regular top. My girl had great fun modeling them for me. :)
