Artful Thursday – Making it Personal

April 15, 2010
Crafters have no problem cutting up thrifted clothing, or re-fashioning something old to make it new again, but do you ever tweak something that’s brand new?
I got this bag while on my recent visit to San Francisco:

Today I didn’t have lots of time to get crafty, so I packed my embroidery floss, a roll of beeswax (I think it keeps the thread from knotting up and makes it slide easily) and a needle.  I had 30 minutes to myself & this is what I did:
after
Now they’ll know I mean business.  (Maybe I need to cross out the “Institution”, too?)
Happy Artful Thursday.

  1. My husband has asked me to hide logos on his new Tees. I usually use applique - something man-man for sure! Once I did cut-work on an expensive Tee. My hands shook when I was making the first cut.

  2. Love it :)
    Sometimes I buy new things just so I can alter them :) It gives it that unique, personal touch :)
