Hey Guys,

Here is the second shirt I did. It was inspired by this video created by Itsblitzzz on youtube. I really love her shirt reconstruction video’s. I was just going trough all her video’s and there are many I haven’t seen left, so who knows. I still have some shirts XD

Anyway, I started cutting in the front of this shirt, and it did not look like the way I wanted it to. The fabric wasn’t really right so I had a lot of trouble with that. In the end I decided to continue cutting it and seeing what happened. Since I removed the collar anyway, i’d wear it in the back. Also, I hated hated the print on this shirt, so I was extra happy to cut it up. In the end I removed the tag and wore it inside out!

The front of the shirt was too boring though, so I gave a second try to the front that was used in the video, and it came out alright. I don’t think this will be my favorite top, but I had fun trying. Also, it didn’t matter if it wouldn’t work, since I didn’t like the shirt to begin with XD

Edit: the link appears to be missing. I’ll try to get it fixed. In the mean time, just look for itsblitzzz on youtube.

Hey guys,

So the third shirt I did was very easy. This was a simple long sleeve black shirt. This was a tutorial by itsblitzzz also.

It was super easy, took about 25 minutes. All you need is a shirt and scissors. I decided against cutting up the front since it didn’t work out like I wanted the last time. Instead I just cut of the collar and stretching it so it’s kind of off shoulder.

This is my absolute favorite shirt so far! I might try this again!

Hi guys,

Yesterday evening Bir, some other friends and I went to a make up workshop. Afterwards our pictures were taken. 
This is one of my favorite pictures in which you can see my outfit. I was wearing my black corset, black simple H&M skirt and red leggings.

Hope you like it!

Hi people,

Sorry for another crappy mirror picture. Just want to show everyone what I’m wearing today.
Purple shirt and tights, black and white skirt with a black belt.
That belt used te be my mother’s from when it was fashion for the first time.
I don’t think I’ve looked this normal/sophisticated ever… It’s funny :P

Hi everybody,

I still had this old outfit picture.
The picture isn’t really flattering, but this is one of my favorite outfits.
As you can see it consists from a long black pencil skirt (that has lacing in the back) and my purple underbust corset. I decided to combine it with my purple and black tights. I also wore a black top over my long-sleeve shirt because I dislike wearing a corset with a boring black top.

Anyway, that was one of my outfits!

ps. I need to try and get pictures from the front. I’m not as wide as in this picture!

Hi guys,

So I want to show you my first t-shirt project.
I’ve loved this shirt ever since I got it in NYC 4 years ago. I’ve worn it quite often in the beginning. After a while the collar started to get a little tight and the seam of one of the sleeves started to unravel.
Since I loved this shirt so much I couldn’t make myself throw it away, and I’m glad I didn’t.

The tutorial I used for this I first found on pintrest. You can find it here. 

Nice thing about this tutorial that it requires little sewing, and no extra material.
I didn’t follow it completely, since I didn’t want to cut of the bottom of my shirt since I’m quite tall. Instead I used the extra fabric around the collar to make the string, which is why it looks like it came from many pieces. I’m actually considering buying a ribbon for it.

Anyway, it was super simple. It took less then 2 hours, which includes hand sewing and watching tv at the same time. I absolutely love the result since I get to wear one of my favorite shirts again :D

Hope you find some inspiration from it.

Hi guys,

Sorry for not updating more often. Life got in the way.
I just want to show you guys a sneak preview of what I’ve been doing today.
It was a lot of fun, and I’m really happy with the results!

I’ll tell about them individually, since I’d also like to credit the people who made the tutorial.
You can expect some more of these somewhere in the near future. As  you can see I still have some shirts left, and Bir has promised me to help me with the tutorial I posted a while back! Yay!

Expect more soon!
