This woman turns thrift store finds into dresses or other things to wear. She's very talented... some of the before things are so hideous.

~She has....interesting taste. So far I'm only seeing extremely easy/bohemian type stuff, but I suppose that's because she has limited time to do these since she has to make one for every day.
Still, it's a cool experiment.

yeah, I wouldn't wear her "after" creations either (even if I were 20 pounds lighter and 20 years younger

), but it is inspiring - I'd like to cut out some of the flowers on those atrocious before dresses and applique them to something for the home (pillows maybe)...

Funny my reaction was-HEY,don't take the larger sizes they're so hard to find as it is. That said,UGLY. I guess for $365. i would have gone to 5/$5. at Salvation Army and not wasted time sewing but now she is famous??

she's very talented.

I liked the tunic from a moo-moo thing. did look comfy to travel in.
Really like the sundress. that looked easy enough
The black and white top from a dress was cute. smart thinking on the turning it around and using the back as the front

Some of her afters were quite ugly but this gives me an inspiration to look beyond things and into what could be.

Interesting.........not to my taste but it certainly gives inspiration.

I do like looking at what other people can create out of things....even if the style isn't for me.

Wow, this lady is totally creative! Amazing transformations. Thanks for sharing.

**shellyrhds** · 08-23-2010, 02:01 PM

How inspiring! While most of her creations weren't my style, I still am amazed at what she is able to do every day with such dresses to work with. Makes me go to thrift stores with a whole new perspective!

I liked the easy ones - they made me think "Hey, I could do that."

**angelbumpkin** · 08-23-2010, 10:13 PM

Although very creative many things were just not not my test but to each their own.

Her creative mind is amazing but I wouldn't wear most of what she created. Some of the short cuts are a little sloppy for me. It does give me some ideas for the things I have that just became too big.
