DIY or die

I am a big fan of do-it-yourself and recycling.
So it was just a matter of time until I found threadbanger.com.
It really is the best of both worlds. Since I do most of my clothes shopping at thrift stores it did get a little hard to find clothes that really fit. I finally decided I would buy what I wanted and go from there. 75% of the clothes I wear are recycled in one way or another, and since I’ve learned how to sew my wardrobe has become more…um… interesting. Some of my clothing goes through what I call the bedazzling. My hats are the clothing items that endure the most of my sewing abuse.
But my wardrobe is not the only thing I am revamping.
My bed room is getting some long overdue attention. For years I have been gathering pictures and making collages for my walls, and I am only now starting to put them on the walls. But because I have so many of them I will not be able to all of them on the wall. So right now I am going through and wedding out the ones I really can’t part with. I think I’ll still end up giving many of them to my younger siblings.
I intend to add some pictures as some of my projects progress.
Peace.
