Hey there a bit of a lurker until I'd finally finished some stuff I could show you all. These are some clothes I've customised (mainly for my sister) but I have done one of them for myself. Beware it's a little picture heavy.

These are some jeans I did for my sister, the concept was day and night so one leg represents the day and the other leg the night.

This is the front of the jeans.

I sewed on the stars and the clouds and made them individually out of material and then I "painted" different designs on each of them by using 3d fabric paint. On the bottom of the "day" leg I wrote "Let's go fly a kite!" and on the bot tom of the "night" leg I wrote "Twinkle twinkle little star". I'm dead proud of these cos it took forever for me to do cos I hand sewed it all!!

These are some jeans I did for my sister a few years ago and it was a sunflower design. I did all of this with fabric crayons and outlined with a black fabric pen. It's a bit faded cos she's worn them loads so of course they've been washed quite a bit. And also the jeans are falling to pieces so I'm doing the design again on a nother pair for her, I'll post them up when I'm done.

This is a penguin t-shirt I did for a girl at work. She's obsessed with penguins and I told her that I did designs so she asked me for one with a penguin on the t-shirt and gave me free reign (bwahahahahaha!)

This is a skirt I did inspired by pirates (cos I love them so :P). Found the skirt really cheap in a charity shop so wasn't bothered if it went wrong as I was only playing really but I think it turned out pretty good. Although I've lost weight now so it doesn't fit so good no more :(.

The writing round the bottom of the skirt. I wrote yoho yoho a pirate's life for me all the way round the skirt.

Hope you like my efforts. Sorry there's so many pics I just wanted to show off a little :P
