Description

For this project I took leftover fabrics I had, and knocked off a shirt from anthropologie…. which is great for me, because it ended up being a fraction of the cost of the original.
The whole thing was too easy. It is realllllllly nice to sew something that doesn’t make me want to throw my machine out the window.

+Cred to my roommate Alexi for taking pictures… Its so nice to have help!!!
+I have a blog too! http://reneeswardroberelief.blogspot.com/2010/10/stick-bow-on.html

    Dear Renee, I’m at work, right now, sporting my Renee-knock off!

    I did it with a grey HM tank top and a black piqué fabric. Your bow looks better than mine though! d-oh!

    a very good idea – so easy and a really great effect! Every simple piece of clothing is enhanced thereby.
