Saint Salvage

Ah, cooler weather... time to change up the wardrobe. Well, I discovered something when unpacking my sweaters. One of my favorites is a "cheapie" I bought a couple years ago at the Atlantic City NJ Old Navy Outlet. It is 100% cashmere, and I bought it on sale for under $10.  To my great disappointment, it came out with holes! Arrrgggh!  What to do???? I set it aside, and found more sweaters that had small holes. So... inspiration time! I went onto my  Sweater Surgery board on Pinterest  and my  Sweet Home Alabama Chanin  board on Pinterest. Brain blast!!!!! Reverse applique coming up!!! I prowled the internet, and found this  pattern  for a Classic Play Wand by Katie Lewis, of   The Red Kitchen . She made a guest post on  U Create With Kids . I thought that star pattern would be a perfect template for my sweater hole problem. I printed out that pattern and gathered my supplies.

I am a Pinterest fan, but I didn't want to turn into strictly a pinner. I wanted to be "Pinspired", and actually do a DIY. I pinned this really fun little project  Vintage Suitcase Turned Jewelry Display  from Richmond Craft Mafia onto my pinboard  DIY: Jewelry . So.... here's what I did on 3/3:   I picked up a small suitcase at an estate sale a few weeks ago. It cost me $5. It probably was a makeup case. My younger son repaired the peeling up lining with our trusty glue gun.... Thank you Johnnie! Then, I used 3 yards of coordinating lace trim, and I spaced them 1.5" apart. I ran it as one continuous strip from one side to the other, and secured them with hot glue. I had a little bit of lace trim left over, so I used it to cover the hinge, and secured it in the back of the display.  Then, I turned it on its end, and put my earrings on it. Ta-dah!!!!! All done!!!!
