Reader Craft One of my faithful fans sent me a really precious email along with her version of the draped vest. Alex, an old summer camp pal AND a fabulous blogger too, she runs EAT a super blog on everyone’s favorite topic - eating yummy things while trying to stay healthy.
She sent me a picture of her vest, along with the following message:
“i found my boyfriends old sweatshirt from when he used to be 250 lbs, and i cut it up.
here’s the photo!
feel free to post it if you like.
i almost went 80s on it and added beads to the end until i realized i actually wanted to wear it!”
Fab fringes!!!
Looks awesome, Alex!!!!
I LOVE that she cut fringes. So easy!!

Reader Craft My friend, Liz, is probably one of my favorite crafters (other than myself). We worked together at a summer camp on Arts & Crafts and Liz was always notorious for not really listening to directions and doing her own thing. I think one summer, we were supposed to be working hard on preparing decorations for the end-of-summer dinner, and she was busy making herself badges for her own version of a crafter’s girl scout sash - Troop Beverly Hills style. It was hot pink. She also handcrafted food-inspired felt pillows. I probably have her ice cream cone pillow floating around somewhere.
Needless to say, I was hardly surprised when I got a hilarious phone call yesterday from Liz, telling me that not only did she do my most recent craft, but she did NOT follow my directions [she didn't want to trace - she wanted to draw freehand]. Hers came out a TEENSY bit different than mine, but I love hers anyways!
Instead of drawing a girl, Liz’s drawing took form in the shape of an old man, who she’s named Al.
Check out her top! Love you Liz!
