My friend Georgia and I headed out to Sauvie Island to check out the corn maize at Bella Organic Farm. We wandered for a while through the corn and then decided to explore the island and its Fall beauty.

I bought a really cheap graphic tee at Old Navy. It was extremely boxy and shapeless, but I knew I had pinned a bunch of ideas for cutting up tees. So I went to my Pinterest Board- Fashion and found a few ideas. I decided on one that is cut up a`la 80’s rocker style. The LA summer print on the tee turns into strips of colors along the front. I know summer is over, but fall is the layering season so this can easily be layered over top of a long sleeve tee or paired with a tank and a jean jacket.

I really enjoyed creating the different looks and combinations for the original yarn bottle projects. There are limitless possibilities that one can achieve by using different yarns and embellishments. I was inspired to see if I could use a combination of yarn and some of the decorator fabric samples I got at SCRAP. I started with a spaghetti sauce jar and used 2 different yarns with 4 different fabrics. I am really happy with the way the flower embellishment pulls it all together in the end.
