Pintrest Weekend – The Fail

It’s hunting season… which means I’m a hunting widow. What’s a girl to do???

PINTREST!!

I hadn’t planned on Justin going out of town for the weekend so my plans were a little… nonexistent. So Friday night as I was catching up on my RHNJ (bless the person who came up with DVR) I decided visit my old friend – my Pintrest app.

And a good visit it was.

 

First thing I stumble onto…

Funky? Cute? I thought it was and when I saw it was made with an old shirt and NO SEWING – I was sold – had to do it.

And I had the perfect shirt. 

It was this pea-soup (vom) green colored shirt I thought was a good idea when I needed a quickie “I just spilled half a bowl of queso on my white shirt and live too far from home to change” fix. Only later did I realize that the queso probably looked better on me.

Equipped with every crafter's go-to-tool... an adult beverage.

But as a scarf – it would be adorable right?

Instructions were easy:

Step 1: Cut hem of shirt off. Check.
Step 2: Cut shirt into strips…

Apparently I missed the day in kindergarten where they taught everyone to cut in straight lines.

But it’s ‘ok’ because the strips will roll anyway so you can’t tell.

Step 3: Stretch out strips of cloth so they roll up.

At least that's what the instructions said they'd do...

To fast-forward through the next 20 minutes of the evening... my "homeless person" scarf ended up in the trash and I had another drink...
