One of my new favorite magazines, Blueprint (a Martha Stewart magazine), is ceasing publication with its March 2008 issue. It has all sorts of fun home decor ideas, life ideas, craft ideas--all that you'd expect from Martha Stewart. Anyway, I picked up the January/February issue at the bookstore last weekend, just to soak in the last bits of goodness before it goes away, and I found a terrific article on re-inventing your clothing.
In it, they show different ways to alter clothing to give it a new look. Everything from pants (making them into capris) and winter coats (shortening the sleeves and removing the collar) to shoes (embellishing and even changing out the heel!).
Check it out while you can. And if you end up loving the magazine as much as I do, we can be sad together.
Until next time,
Christine













We are indeed sad together. But there is some happy news about an online future for the magazine in blog form at this Blueprint blog post (called Bluelines) from earlier this month:
