I noticed there was a thread asking about making clothes, but I felt since the OP was asking a question that it would be inappropriate to hi-jack it for this purpose. xP

In this thread, feel free to post pictures and descriptions of anything fashion-related that you've made or customized. Acceptable items include but are not limited to: clothing, shoes, bags/purses, jewelry. This is a place to show off your talent, and to maybe get some ideas for things to make. I'll be posting some things once I have photos of the things I want to share. Photobucket is mad at me right now, so the photos I do have of things aren't accessible for the moment. I'll be taking photos of other things too, though. And new ones of the old stuff if need be. Everyone else feel free to post, too! :) My photos will be up later today.

Well here's my pants. They went from normal semi skinny jeans I pucked up at a thrift store and then sewed some stuff on them to pants with no front. :(

Then I went ghetto super skinny jeans made with abunch of safety pins for a little while but didn't really like it.

Then I went out to the thrift stores again and got some ties. :) Sewed them up the front and made some sure-to-get-you-weird-stares bellbottoms.

Very nice pants. I actually like the bell-bottoms, haha, nifty.

Nice bracelet too, Caitlin. I used to make those all the time, and I usually have a few knotted ones on my wrist. haven't made any in a while though.

Since photobucket is still retarded and won't let me log in or respond to me about resetting my password, I created a new account for the time being. I also took some new pictures of a few things since the DIY photos aren't still on my computer at the moment, just uploaded to photobucket.

My backpack. I plan to add in a pocket watch hanging down the side as well, it's just a matter of sketching it out and painting it on. I'm aware that the cat's face looks a little strange. xP

These other two are of projects I posted in the photo album back when I finished them, so some of you may recognize them.
Decopauged shoes; covered the canvas in tissue paper and fabric mod podge.

Nice cat..

I don't have a lot that hasn't been otherwhise disposed (or lost). i fix a lot though :P

I had a black skirt.. but, um it doesn't cover my butt anymore. it's more of a tubetop, which is something i don't wear anyway :razz:

go figure. I'mma planning on making a chocker and altering a few pairs of pants this summer though

I've made a few things before...Unfortunately, I don't think I have any of them.

I've made lots of jewelery, which I could probably find somewhere.

In Home Ec class we had to sew a tote bag, but I finished mine in like 1/4 of the expected time so my teacher told me I could play around with a sewing machine and make something if I wanted. So I made a dress which turned out really cool until someone spilled stuff all over it. -_-

I took an old pair of Converse and doodled all over them.
