Hello Refashion Co-op. I needed to alter the fit of these purple jeans so they would work for me. I got side tracked and made bell-bottom jeans.

Cover a stain with embroidery
Out of nowhere (so it seamed) a stain had appeared on one sleeve of this cardigan. It looked like toothpaste, but it clearly wasn't, since washing didn't help. White paint then? I cautiously treated it with some organic solvent but that didn't work either. I kept wearing the cardigan, but I couldn't forget the stain and wanted to fix it. But how?
A few weeks ago I went to a workshop 'Embroidery on clothes' and brought the cardigan with me. I've done some embroidery on clothes before, but I was hoping for some new inspiration and I always like working together with other creatives.

The Yellow Dress That Gave All It Could
Hello Refashion Co-op. I found this yellow dress at a thrift store over a year ago. I have cut it up and refashioned it so many times. But I still had the bodice and lining left over.
