A few weeks ago I was window shopping on Anthro and came across this gorgeous embellished and tie-dyed top. That $228 price take pretty much blew my mind but it also got my wheels turning about how I could remake it for myself. That thought evolved into making a dress which evolved into making the swim cover I'm going to show you today!I love everything ab…

Hello Readers. Spring has sprung. I am so happy to be able to wear lighter weight clothes and not need a coat anymore. Yay to warmer weather! Warm weather means pretty fun shirts and tops. I was thinking of pretty tops when I saw this hand-me-down dress. It got me thinking. I could use the boxy shape to make a cool top with a loose fit. This dress was light weight and I loved the design along the hemline. I loved the blue color too. The dress was a little boxy and shapeless. I…

As the school summer holidays continue my desire to sew, to have space in my sanctuary of a sewing room has become ever stronger. When I spotted a gorgeous Monsoon skirt in a charity shop (op shop for American readers) I was immediately drawn to the fabric, an impulse purchase was made with the aspiration that the pleats in the skirt would yield enough fabric to make a new top for myself. Twenty four hours before we set off for France I found myself cutting out the top New Look K6284…

I bought a striped maxi skirt at the thrift store with grand plans of remaking it into a spring tank dress. How cute would that have been? Unfortunately, the knit fabric was so thin you could see the color of my bra through it. Doh! I had to figure out a way to strategically layer the fabric and obscure my private parts. I found the solution in this Calvin Klein flounce blouse. The flouncy collar would hide my bra and add a feminine flourish. I wasn’t f…

A few weeks back I signed up to take part in being run by AmyNicoleStudio and Pilar Bear:-“Our hopes for this year’s restyling exchange is to get even more participants, raise awareness for refashioning and being sustainable in our sewing practice”My immediate thoughts were what fun to take part in a global refashioning event – to post a garment from my wardrobe to be refashioned, and to receive in the post a garment to refashion.I posted this maxi dree bought in a charity shop a year…

Here are three easy thrift flip projects to transform those clothing items that are just taking up space in your closet into fun, fashionable pieces that you’ll wear again and again.

Giving color and pattern to a solid comfy t-shirt, looks simple enough to me. I had this bright red-orange tee and a remnant of fabric leftover from this wrap and tie pantskirt I made. This fabric piece just goes so well with the shirt. It was meant to be. First I did was mark how high I wanted the center back. I basically made go to where the front neckline is. Then fold the shirt in half, with side seams meeting in the middle. Create the shape you want for the front and back…

Do you remember the Refashioners 2017 Suits You challenge? That’s how long ago I started this pantsuit to jumpsuit refashion. Hell-bent on participating in this competition, I started this thrift flip with lots of enthusiasm. After a few days, the project got tedious, and I threw it aside, discouraged and defeated. When I unearthed this UFO (Un-Finished Object) last week, I was bummed to see how close I was to finishing this stupid jumpsuit. All I had to do was…

I had a couple blue jeans my husband asked me to fix but were unfixable and a pair of my own which did not fit me anymore. I decided to make a jacket out of them. With his jeans, I could make the back and sides of the front. With my jeans I could make the arms. So I cut out the legs. I cut out the pockets to apply later. I also cut out the waist band of my jeans to use as the collar. So I had to remove the little things were the belt goes (can't remember what they are called…

I have bunch of sweat pants that are worn and ugly and probably have a bunch of paint on them from work around the house. Well sweat skirts are becoming more and more popular but instead of buying one I decide to make it! It really is pretty easy with some entry level of how to use a sewing machine. I started by cutting the seem between the legs. Then turned the shorts inside out and lay it with the two cut sides matched up. Then I used the sewing machine to stich from the…
