Anyhow, here is how the upcycled t-shirt shirt worked out:<br /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fbeaird%2Falbumid%2F5236816858638669553%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss%26authkey%3DzWb8xSJDecc" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><br /><br />I think it needs a few tweaks before it's ready, but I really adore the poofy sides on the shorts. What do you think? Do you think it needs a few more feminine touches for a girl??<br /><br />Also, as promised here is a 10% off up to 2 items coupon for <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.pinkatilly.etsy.com">my etsy shop</a>! It's good through September. Thanks for looking and PLEASE COMMENT to your heart's content!!<br /><br />1. First add an item(s) from my shop to your cart and start the check out process.<br />2. Enter the code <strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">"TENOFF2"</span></strong> in the 'notes to seller' and the email address where the revised invoice should be sent.<br />3. Complete the order but do NOT go to Paypal to pay.<br />4. You will receive a revised invoice, and a link to complete payment, via email reflecting the discount.'<br /><br />I'm appliqueing (is that a word?) with my Sis-in-law next Tuesday so hopefully I will have a darling new onesie to post - most likely a girly one!!
