Poison Ivy / Woodland Nymph / Whatever T-Shirt Reconstruction

So I should probably warn you, about %70 of this video is just me cutting stuff up. I didn't realize quite how much cutting was involved with making this dress. I actually made this costume a while ago, I’m not sure if anyone would be into it, but I think it’s kinda cute, even if no one could tell what it was supposed to be. So I figured I’d upload it anyway. Hopefully, that’s cool with you.
I don’t know what happened with the video quality, but I think the dress turned out okay. Hopefully, things are clear enough despite the less than ideal resolution. If you watch it on your phone it probably doesn't make much of a difference so there's that silver lining?
Making videos is hard, sewing is hard, and I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing, but dang it I’m tryin’ anyway! That’s gotta count for something, right?

Recycled Umbrella Bags

Woo recycling! I’ve held on to the fabric from this old broken WWF umbrella for so long because I was quite attached to the animal print, and I finally turned it into something...or multiple somethings. Yes, I am that lady with the small mountain of reusable bags piled on the register, and proud of it!

Funny story, this umbrella was just one of many casualties. My brother used to go through umbrellas like I go through hair bands. To this day it’s a bit of a mystery how he did it. Luckily, my hello kitty umbrella survived (largely because most dudes have some qualms about waltzing around with a pink and cheetah print hello kitty umbrella, to each their own)
