My tutorial on how to turn 3 XL Men’s Sweatshirts into a Blouson Tunic was featured on FaveCrafts.com! They’ve prefaced it with: “Take a few frumpy and boxy men’s sweatshirts and turn them into a cute one-size-fits-all convertible tunic. This tutorial shows you how to turn 3 XL sweatshirts, elastic and buttons into an adorable tunic with basic sewing tools.” Thank you, FaveCrafts editors, for allowing me as a guest feature on the site!
Happy DIY’ing!

Featured Here, There, and Everywhere!
Gosh, this has been circulating the internet in a couple places. I’m so thrilled to be featured on some of my favorite sites!
Two readers who made their own versions:
Rachel A. from
Parkavesweatshop sewed up the above one – she made the top longer to pull down if she so wanted or to scrunch it up higher. The longer length looks great!
Amanda V. used this super-cute plaid print and made a smaller, more ruffly-ruffle at the center front.
I’ve been so inspired by Amanda’s version I’m working on another step-by-step tutorial, this time for a fitted bustier-style dress from a men’s plaid shirt. Thanks ladies – for trying this out and posting your results – they look beautiful!
If anyone else tried this out and made a dress – please share! Thank you everyone for the mention – and, as always, Happy DIY’ing!

OMG!
I almost died when I saw a feature on yours truly at my style and DIY inspiration – OutsaPop Trashion.
I looove Outi and all her inspiring projects – this lady is incredibly, incredibly talented – and she constantly posts inspiration from across the web. She’s a big supporter of indie designers and DIY afficionados…right up my alley! Definitely check out her website if you have the chance!
Thank you, Outi, for the feature! I’m thrilled beyond all words!

Another Feather blog featured me and a post I put up previously about the beautiful bullet quartz necklace I bought from them. Read the post here.
They wrote: “Thank you carly for featuring a AnotherFeather necklace in your blog. you are so adorable.”
Haha! You’re welcome!
And definitely check out the Another Feather blog for an inspiring collection of the beautiful, ethereal jewelry pieces owner Hannah creates all with her very hands.
Thank you Hannah!
