Now, since I'm very poor but love clothes and can sew, one of my favorite, sneakiest pastimes is going into Boston and hitting 2 or 3 of the Urban Outfitters there, and drawing the dresses on the mannequins for later copying. This shirt is modeled after a dress I liked.
I also started a tie skirt; it's very nearly done, I'll post it with my next contribution (I won't post it alone, since I didn't use t-shirts in it).
