Share A Thrift Hunt #1: Thrifted Pinkies

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! Hope you all will have a beautiful day for the celebration. Our weather here is a bit warm, but windy. Not really a day were you like to spend time outside because the wind might blow you away. Anyway, here is my first entry of the "Share A Thrift Hunt Meme" and if you are interested, click on the badge above to find out how.

I am so glad I picked up these thrift-ed treasures because they are pink. Yes! You will see a lot of pink popping out this spring as one of the colors this season. Plus, I have not had anything pink in my closet (I know right? Every girl should have something pink in their closet. Shame on me!) so I was glad I found these like last year. I can't wait for another thrift shopping this spring and see what I can find. This time I'm looking for more long skirts or maybe a maxi dress. Cross my fingers on that. For now, let me show you my thrift-ed treasures.

Fuchsia Pink Long Sleeves Blouse: $1

I love this blouse. It feels so good on your skin and it's flow-y and forgiving.

Vintage Blazer: $1

This blazer comes with a pink skirt as well, but don't have a photo. Maybe I'll show it to you in the next post.

Thrift-ed Vintage Blazer

Thrift-ed Shirt: $1

Although this is not all pink shirt, but it has these circles with pink & red on it. So cute! Thanks to Lui of Girl On A Thrift Hunt for hosting this fabulous meme. Come join us and share us your thrift hunts as well every Thursday. Have a great day!

DIY Blazer & Yellow Belt for MYM Entry

I hope everyone had a great weekend and everyone was safe, healthy and happy. Welcome back to "It's Sewtastic, Mama" and hope you will enjoy your visit. Today, I am sharing you this very easy and quick DIY Blazer and my inspiration is Kyla of Blue Collar Catwalk and her lovely DIY Jacket. I fell in love with her jacket when I first saw it and I was wanting one just like that. So when I went to the rummage sale at the church here in town, I was looking for a blazer that I can later on turn into something like the ones Kyla was wearing. I was so excited when I found one and with the price, amazing! I bought this women's blazer for about $1 and since it was a little bit large for my size, I did put it in the dryer hoping that it will shrink a little bit. Its sort of work and I actually like it now. The good thing about it is that if I screw up on this one, then I won't feel too bad about it since I didn't have to spend that much money, but I was really hoping that it will turn out well. And it did!

So here's what I did. As you can see, the blazer did not have four pockets of the front, so what I did was pretty much what Kyla did on her jacket as well. I have a baggy cargo pants that I don't really like that much, so I took off the pockets and sewed it on the blazer. The only hard part on this DIY was the pinning and making sure that the pockets will be even and not crooked. Once you're finished sewing the pockets on the front of your blazer, you are good to go! That was it! Easy, right? I told you it was easy and quick. So go on now and make your own DIY blazer and then come back here and tell me how yours turned out. Thanks for Kyla for the inspiration!
