Mandala Refashion

Most of you already know I like to make my own underwear.  The store bought stuff is just so over priced and is rarely comfortable.

So, this weekend I made another pair.  I used this cute girls top that I picked up at the Thrift Store ages ago for $1:

I love the colours, and the sparkles, and the rhinestones, and the funky mandala pattern!

I used this 1980's pattern from Kwik Sew:

Kwik Sew makes the best lingerie patterns.
I used View A.

I added this gorgeous lime green lingerie elastic from my stock on hand.

And I came up with this!

I think they're super cute.  They fit perfectly and are very comfy.  Anyone else out there making their own sweet nothings?  What's your favourite pattern company for underthings?  Leave a comment below~

One Change: T-shirt Refashion

I have a very fun Show and Tell for you today.

Remember the homemade undies I made last fall?

I used this pattern again to make some more.

And this time I used something I had on hand but knew I would never use....this lovely gift from SaskPower:

 I did some volunteer work awhile ago, handing out environmentally safe lightbulbs around the neighbourhood, and got to keep the T shirt.  (Believe it or not... I didn't get to keep a lightbulb.)

I thought maybe I'd use it for sleeping in or painting in or something.  But I haven't.  It's just taking up much needed space in my dresser.

So I cut it up and made these!

These are seriously the best fitting, most comfortable undies I've ever had.

I'm giving the second pair to my sister as a gift.  I'm sure she'll think this is the weirdest thing I've made her yet~
