DIY t-shirt altering

So this is my first video on how I altered my first t-shirt and also kind of an update of things to come. You can go to my youtube page and see this same video, and others will be posted on there soon! Here is the link to my youtube page - Next post // Will be on how to alter jackets or tees in your very own closet, to make them your own creation! & also my DIY pastel hair chalking tutorial! Which is how you can dye highlights into your hair with soft pastels! Such a fun, quick, & easy trick to try if you want something different done to your hair, but don't want to damage it with color or bleach. So this is a great idea for anyone to try! So make sure to keep watch to see when the next video is posted! Thanks loves!

So basically, yesterday I learned to sew! Which is a fantastic thing to learn, especially for the direction that I am going in, in my life. I want to accomplish so many things - I want to have a split boutique with my best friend Bridgett. Right now, we are getting together ideas and things to start that. I also want to be a photographer, maybe a stylist or fashion designer, graphic designer, & things like that.
So last night we bought some fabrics, lace, and a couple shirts to alter. And we looked up youtube videos on how to use a sewing machine, 3 hours later, around 4am, we finally got it. We were literally about to cry! We had worked so hard trying to figure it out and kept messing it up and then finally it worked and we were so happy!
So anyways, I have a picture of the t-shirt that I altered, but not Bridgett's.
Here it is /// ---



I actually really love it. I got some ribbon to put on the bottom of the shirt, I got some fabric that had wolves on it because for some weird reason I'm obsessed with wolves/wild animals right now..haha. And then I sewed the wolf on and the ribbon first, then I cut the pocket to where it was slitted, and I used blue fabric underneath the pocket so it would show through, used fabric glue to adhese it and also, I got some croched/lace looking ribbon and used fabric glue to adhere it to the top of the pocket. Also made a bunch of slits in the back of the shirt. I'm not sure if I'm finished with it yet or not. I may alter it more, or I may just buy more shirts and alter them in different ways.

But the things to come in the near future are: video tutorials on how to cut t-shirts in certain ways, how to sew certain things, post ideas, my style pictures, video tutorials on random things like chalk dying your hair, how to make feather hair clips, earrings, and headbands. TONS of things to do!! But I am so excited. Now that I am aware of how to sew, I can alter some of the clothing I have into something even more awesome! Then it will be my own creation, instead of someone else's.

Thanks for reading my posts, stay tuned for tutorials, how to's, and my style photographs!
ALSO; I will be posting my videos on youtube (i'll give you the links to my videos in the next post about my creations!) I am also posting things on tumblr & buzznet! Also, I will give those links in the next post as well!

// SHARE MY BLOG with your friends!
I NEED FOLLOWERS!

Next post will more than likely be a tutorial for sewing and altering t-shirts & things of that nature. Stay tuned for more fun and interesting clothes and ideas!

Thanks lovies <3

New tattoo & the rude tattoo artist //

<< // MY NEW TATTOO!
                                                                 
For the past...year/year and a half, i've been contemplating what tattoos I want. I always save all these pictures on my laptop and my phone and keep looking at them constantly to try to decide what I want. Since i've got my school money, I've been saying that I was going to get one, and never could decide. So yesterday, during algebra class, I decided and right after class, I went to the tattoo parlor and got the tat. Which was extremely spontaneous of me, which is sort of out of character for me cause I rarely ever just decide something so extreme and just go do it right then. Also, no one went with me. I went by myself and went through the terribly annoying pain without anyones hand to squeeze. Instead, I squeezed my purse which is all wrinkled up now because of it. But anyways, Bridgett (my best friend) and Logan (my boyfriend) were on their way right before and as I was getting it. Bridgett showed up literally seconds after he finished and I was just like ".....come on." But the guy that did it was very rude and in a way, disrespectful. When we started the tat, he hardly talked at all. Talking definitely would have got my mind off of the pain. When we finished, he just got up and was walking and I was like, "Aren't you going to put a bandage on it?" Cause he didn't even do that! That was just like 'what the fuck' for me. Then we get up to the counter and I pay him for it and he just walks off, doesn't give me a paper saying what I can and cannot do for the first few days while it's healing, didn't give me any a&d ointment, which is stupid as fuck because just today the tattoo starting kind of peeling and the black was kind of flaking off and I had to go to walmart and buy neosporin. I was basically appauled by this dude. Like, who does that shit, come on.

WORD OF ADVICE - If you're going to be a tattoo artist, you should probably learn how to actually be SOCIABLE! You can't just sit there and be silent the whole time cause the person will get aggitated from getting the tattoo and your attitude! Ahh I swear I will never get a tattoo from him again!

Note to self - His name was Shane Strout. (Don't get tats from him)

Celebrate black history month!

Black history month is for celebrating because that is when they really became free. I watched the movie "The Help" the other day and cried like a sappy sap all the way through! It really is sad that back in the 60's when they were maids or (mammies) the white families treated them so shitty and was so rude and disrespectful. Treated them like they were different than us. They are not any different whatsoever. They might have a different skin color but that doesn't make them different than us, and it doesn't make us better than them. I hate it when people act racist. My boyfriend is that way. We have so many fights over our opinions about black people. He makes fun of me for being for equality and thinking that all people are equal. But he thinks that blacks and whites should not be together and he thinks that whites are smarter and just weird stupid stuff like that. God says not to judge others no matter what. And he still does it because that's the way he was taught growing up by his mother and papaw and I just completely disagree. We both have very different opinions on basically anything controversial. But I say, celebrate this month and love yourself for who you are, no matter what skin color, no matter what sexual orientation you are. Love yourself and show others that you are perfect just the way you are. :)
