French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Reversible Beret and Matching Bag - $62.00
I really enjoyed making this because it gave me the opportunity to use this unique fringe that I've been hoarding now for over two years. I new I would find a wonderfull purpose for it - and it was well worth the wait! The fabric is a stretchy crinkled nylon velvet that was a little girls' dress and it had two style patterns on it. The reverse side of the beret is from a t-shirt and the colors matched so well, like they were meant to be together! I've just posted this ensemble on Etsy. Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Reversible Beret and Purse - $52.00
I love this print and I used every scrap of fabric for this creation. This T-shirt was different as it had voile print sleeves which had beading on the cuffs. I especially love how the purse turned out - very chic! Just posted this item on my Etsy shop - Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Pretty in Pink Upcycled Linen Shirt - $58.00

This was one of my most favorite projects and I guess because the shirt was Linen. The color of the shirt just oozed feminity too! So basically, it was just removing the sleeves and top portion of the shirt and taking all that fabric and re-working it into roses and ruffles and braids. Then the task in hand was where and how to re-attach it to the shirt. I was very happy how it turned out and now it's so so fem and sexy for the Spring and Summer.
