Stash Couture version of the Anthropologie Lata Tee

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 →

A Manly, but still Secure, Luggage Tag

Posted on January 11, 2015 by destashification

Colorful Secure Luggage Tags were the gifts of the 2014 Christmas Season. However, even the added level of security they provide could not convince my husband to attach something that colorful to his dark masculine (AKA:  boring) luggage. So he … Continue reading →
