How many times have you walked past an ugly apron at a thrift store or a yard sale? Well check this out as a way to rock an old one and make it pop. Adding touches of embroidery is easy. This camping embroidery idea came from Jenny Hart’s Sublime Stitching collection. I just drew it myself though instead of going through the ironing steps – each to his own though. I am headed off for a Summer camping trip and made an apron for the trip.

Do you have a stash of your mom’s vintage costume pearls lying around? Freshen them up and give them to her, restyled, for Mothers Day. This restyle project was inspired by a necklace spotted at Anthropologie with a price tag of $78. Make one yourself for just pennies. This is modeled after a collar necklace but with a twist.

Royal Wedding Fever – Wedding Dress Re-Styled
The Royal Wedding is just days away and since everyone loves a fairy tale, I used the Royal Wedding as inspiration to transforms a late 1980’s / early 1990’s style wedding dress into a contemporary wedding frock for a fun spirited occasion, with a touch of the hottest wedding trend, black.
I put out a request on Facebook and the offers came — Spring cleaning I guess.
