The spring is about cleaning and re-making your own style. Use these do-it-yourself projects to update your closet just in time for the flowers to bloom. Skirts and tank tops are always on point, and they don't have to have a floral print! This list has a couple different skirts to try out, plus a bralette for under that loose tank. Make it all by hand and be in control of your own style this season.
"Add a classic staple to your wardrobe with this simple gathered skirt.

"Number TEN ! And it's sunny enough to wear it all day long ! Yippee !!! The story of this tee-shirt is quite funny and I'm afraid I can't wait to tell you about it when I reveal all the other outtakes I've promised you..."
"I got a chance to be behind the camera for this one, since E&M came to visit us for the weekend, yay! Photos were taken at the beaches near Monterey :) So this tutorial might be confusing, but if you're used to sewing you hopefully know what I mean."
"Living in Los Angeles, the weather is almost always tank top appropriate. It makes a lace bra very essential in my wardrobe. I usually pair it with an open back top or a muscle tank with a low armhole. I think the the little bit of lace peeking through is so perfect."
"Powder Dyed Shirt"
Super cute for spring plus you can use this technique on many different kinds of clothing.
"I can't wait for spring! That's why I decided to make something special for warmer days. I've mixed classic long sleeve top and some black fabric paint to create simple and a little bit edgy outfit. Ready to welcome spring! Just do it! - t-shirt or long sleeve top - plastic protection pad 1."
"I apologize for the lack of blog yesterday! I lost my camera cord & had pictures for EVERY blog that I needed stuck in my memory card. I found it :) One day, however, my super sweet boy was trying to help and placed these pants on top of my drying rack which was already full of clothes."
"I'm so excited that the weather is warming up here in Melbourne after a very long winter. I had a child free hour up my sleeve last night so decided to tackle two projects at once! Clean out my wardrobe and make a new spring dress."
Last week in our pattern making class , the instructor showed us how to make tulip skirts with darts and notches and facings and piles and piles of pattern pieces. But being the lazy SOB that I am, I knew there had to be an simpler way - and here it is.""
"White is hot this season on the runways and almost every designer has it in their shows for the spring and summer season. Pamella Roland, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Christian Dior, Band of Outsiders, are collections populated white shades of white! Not only is it all over the runways, but also the instagram feeds of your fashionistas."
Pop culture and all that ideology sitting in the blind spot. Also crafts.
