Let Me Watch Your Money Honey / Embroidered Felt Wallets

I can’t remember how this project came to be. I do remember thinking the felt remnants left over from a previous blog, Marimekko Moment, reminded me of Evil Eyes every time I came across them rummaging through my fabric basket. The creativity was inspired by the supplies I had on hand. I bought the felt wallets on Amazon (I searched “felt pencil cases” to find them), and my friend Bee gave me my tagline, “Let Me Watch Your Money Honey.” I embroidered embellishments on the felt eyes and attached beads, buttons, and studs before gluing them to the wallets with Alene’s Tacky Glue.

I bought a pair of white canvas high-top sneakers from OYSHO, and I drew rainbows on them with Sharpie and BIC permanent markers. I made them in June to honor LGBTQ month and forgot to post them on my blog. As I say often, better late than never! . It’s so easy for anyone, young or old, to create a look like this. I hope you try it!

Thank you, @xoxoanniedepressant, for the fabulous pins I embellished my sneakers with when completed.

Transforming a plain shirt could never be easier than this. Start with a design. Print out mine if you like. Use a LED light board to project the design through the fabric, and trace it onto your garment with a disappearing ink marker. Pull out your permanent markers and acrylic paint pens, and start coloring! I’ve included links to the LED light board and disappearing ink marker that I use. Bic and Sharpie are my go-to permanent markers, and Zeyar is the brand of acrylic paint pen I used on this shirt.

The evil eye dates back to approximately 1500 BC and has been embraced by many different cultures around the world. The folklore of its supernatural power may or may not hold any truth. I think that depends on the person who’s wearing it. The notion that they ward off evil spirits makes me happy either way. And, considering the state of our world, I thought there was no better time than now to complete this project.

This project ticked several of my favorite boxes. Plays on words, fabric painting, embroidery, and donuts are all high on my fun list. Add them all together, and you get an adorable dress for an adorable kid. I made this whimsical chambray dress for the newest member of our family.

I found this crazy t-shirt on a clearance rack at Bershka. It was the last one they had, but it wasn’t my size. Orange doesn’t happen to be a great color on me either, but that didn’t stop me from buying it, and I am so glad I did. I ended up ironing fusible interfacing to the back of the orange monkey t-shirt, cutting out the monkeys, and sewing them to JW Anderson/Uniqlo linen t-shirts. The resulting three t-shirts are more wearable than the original and surprisingly on-trend for Summer.
