DIY Sweatshirt / T-shirt

Have a dumpy t-shirt AND a dumpy sweatshirt?  I did!  Look what happened:

Oh the possibilities-when two shirts meet scissors magic happens.

I just cut out the front of the shirt, laid it on the sweatshirt to get the shape right, trimmed down its arms and waist, and then sewed it on.  

...and the pocket too.

 Can't see it very well but this is a skirt I made out of an old plaid shirt I ganked from this really mean bitter girl I used to work with who would paint in her fathers awesome vintage plaid shirts.  Really, how could she? It is so soft, and looks kinda silly I'm sure but I don't care.

And Then She Painted It All White

I started painting on my bedroom walls when I was eleven because they were dirty and ugly and smelled like an ashtray.  Anyone who has brushed a single stroke of that good ol' thick gooey latex paint knows how it can turn the most plain looking piece of shit crawlspace into a bright shiny dazzling palace in no time and at half the price! Right?  So, that's what I did and here is how I left it when I moved out of there:
