T-Shirt Refashioning

My husband had a shirt that was now too small for him. I had always loved this shirt. I couldn't bring myself to giving it away. So I decided to do a little refashioning. This was the XL button up:

These were the cuts I made to make the shirt work for me. I made sure to leave about 1/2" for seam allowance. I also removed the pocket.  

I sewed in the sides, re-hemmed the bottom, took in the sleeves, and sewed the sleeves back on. I used the strip of fabric I cut off the bottom of the shirt as my ruffle.  

 Viola! Good as new.

The Reward

I had one of my customers email me this cute photo of her little girl sporting my Millie boots. I just think she is the cutest thing ever.

Even though some days I feel like all I do is boots boots boots - I have absolutely loved having this little business. I have an amazingly supportive husband - who probably wouldn't want me posting about how he even helps cut out fabric for me!! And I definitely wouldn't be able to do this all without my mother - who would take pride in me posting about the many boots she's cut out, and buttons she's sewn on. A big thanks to all of my customers - I couldn't do this without you! Bring on Christmas rush!!

White Bean Chicken Chili

This is one of my new favorite dishes. It does have a little heat - but I like to think the spicier the better! It's great for the winter months. Enjoy!

White Bean Chicken Chili

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 medium onion, chopped

1-1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1 Tbsp. olive oil

2 cans (15-1/2 oz.) Great Northern Beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (14-1/2 oz.) Chicken Broth

2 cans (4 oz. each) Chopped Green Chilies

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

3/4 cup fat-free sour cream

1/2 cup skim milk (recipe calls for whipping cream, but who needs the extra calories!?)

In a large skillet, saute chicken, onion and garlic powder in the olive oil until the chicken is no longer pink. Add the beans, broth, chilies and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and milk. Serve immediately.
