Shabby Lily

Remember how I said I LOVE getting inspired by other crafty peeps?

Take this gal for example....been there, read that, love it.

She's always cooking up something crafty and you know me....I like crafty goodness.

What did she inspire me to do?

Take this used, dingy, BLAH sweatshirt........and clean it up with some bleach, suds......oh, and some yummy Heather Bailey fabric and some Heat 'n Bond......And now my little model can strut her stuff on the runway..........with a bright, shabby & chic sweatshirt.........she was even feeling confident enough to tell the birds what to do....

Where have you been inspired lately??!

I'm always inspired by you of course! I am tempted to lift every one of your creations! My other go-to-gal is Elizabeth Kartchner. I even have you both saved in my Bberry (which I'm posting from right now)!

LOVE IT!!! So, you bleached the sweatshirt and it came out better than before??? YOu have some magical powers. I am currently obsessed with that HB rose print. Just got a big old stack in the mail. Can't wait to get some scissors to it.

Love Lily's cute upcycled sweatshirt - the best part is that pointy little sassypants finger. Don't mess with Lily! Just back off, cuz her shirt is way cooler than yours. *grin*
