Posted on February 14, 2015 by destashification

It started as an Old Navy men’s XXL T-shirt.  The Cerulean Blue color caught my eye – and the $6 price tag sealed the deal. McCall’s 6747 was used for the Fit and Fabulous T-shirt.  After cutting apart the XXL … Continue reading →

Valentine’s Top – Just one Shade of Grey

Posted on February 7, 2015 by destashification

Grey and Black have been the colors this winter.  Grey sweaters, black leggings, grey coat…  All very comfortable, but lacking in color. By Valentine’s Day, this monochromatic issue requires attention. So, the search was on for a colorful fabric that … Continue reading →

Posted on February 6, 2015 by destashification

Love the embellishments on these Anthropologie Lata Tee’s. Lace and calico bias binding?  The Stash has those! I thought it possible to replicate these with just a few modifications to a long sleeved t-shirt. A quick trip to Old Navy … Continue reading →

Destashification Boho Top

Posted on October 10, 2014 by destashification

It appears Boho Chic is “all the fashion” now.  Oddly, by definition, Boho cannot be Chic.  “Boho Chic” translates to “Non-conformist Fashion Follower”!!! All those flowing tops and dresses with the embroidered and embellished necklines – in sizes and cuts for … Continue reading →

5891 + 8854 = One Stash Couture Shirt

Posted on October 1, 2014 by destashification
