Some People Play With Their Food...

...We Play With Our Clothes.

I bought my 19 year old K.U. guy this shirt
(it was a full shirt at the time)
a couple of years ago. I guess I was hoping for
a preppy thing to happen. He took it out of
the sack, said thanks and then hung it in my
closet. I don't know if that was a nice way of
saying he didn't like my taste or what, but there
it has hung for these two lonely years. I
saw it this morning while putting laundry away
and bells and whistles started going off!
Here it is this afternoon..... is that fun or what?

I just cut the bottom off, unpicked the pocket, sewed it back on the part I had just lopped off and turned that little hummer into this cute little skirt. I even made a little scalloped edge hankie to go in the pocket, just like Daddy. This is even one the "clothing deconstructor" and "funky hippy girl" might wear (longer of course).
