Remember when I made maternity pants?

Turns out when you lose 50+ lbs you can make some minor adjustments and still wear your me-made Lane Pants 🤍🤍🤍

This was literally a 10 minute alteration, which is why learning to sew and mend is so useful!

💕💕the oona dress💕💕

If you saw my stories you know I struggled at a certain spot with this dress! Like many others I thought I sewed the sleeves upside down when really I was holding the bodice wrong. After I figured that out it was smooth sailing.

I made a straight 38 but if I make this again, I’d make it a size or two smaller. I also used much shorter elastic than the pattern calls for.

second-hand sneakers are my love language
Susty OOTD today features my favorite vintage sweatshirt (for $5 felt it like I was stealing) and these new-to-me thrifted sneaks.
Used some soap baking soda and leather conditioner to freshen them up and now I will never take them off. Thanks to my friend for thrifting them and handing them off to me 🫶🫶🫶

Susty St Paddy’s day OOTD 🍀
Sustainable fashion is a slow process- and I’ve finally gotten to the point where I’m happy with the majority of my wardrobe!
Thrifted jeans (fast fashion), handmade tank ( worn backwards!), and thrifted flannel.
My favorite part of this outfit is that the flannel was mended before the owner donated it, and it just adds some history to the piece that I love.
Swipe to see these boots I’ve destroyed and yet I still wear them with holes 💀

Made some skirts from some jeans (with mixed results 🥲)
I love how the long skirt turned out! Using a wide-leg pair of jeans allowed the just right fit around my hips and keeping the original hem keeps a clean look.
The short skirt I don’t like as much but it was made with jeans I wasn’t going to wear anymore, so it was good practice.
Overall this thrift flip was a success and I had a lot of fun- check out the tutorial by .olufemi to make a pair yourself!!
