lace hem t-shirt midi dress

Today I want to show you how to give new life to your old cloth. To this refashion I use my old t shirt which I don't use any more and some lace which I cut off from another , this time too long dress.

Few stiches , few cuts and voila totally new midi dress.

December Means Dresses

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I refashion dresses all month to raise awareness about human trafficking. I am an advocate with Dressember. I am wearing dresses(Or ties!) all month to support this organization.

 December is also a busy month at my day job. I have done 3 refashions so far this month. This denim dress became a jacket. I am still working on the rest of the dress.

This tight dress and sweater became a 2 piece outfit that fit me a lot better.

This gray dress just needed to find it's waist. I stitched in some elastic and it became a whole different dress that looked more flattering on me.

 You can see these recent refashions at the I Can Work With That blog. Thanks for reading along.

Customize thrift store jeans with DIY appliques and patches

Dress up a pair of thrift store jeans with DIY appliques!  This project takes less than 1 hour to make thanks to some fusible adhesive.  Check out the step by step tutorial in my YouTube video.

I bought half a yard of upholstery fabric in a pretty floral pattern.  This fabric gave me lots of flowers of different sizes to play with.

I fused HeatnBond to the back of the fabric.

Then I cut out a bunch of flowers.

Peel off the paper backing before ironing in place.

Arrange the flowers in a pattern you like and iron them in place.

Enjoy your beautiful jeans!

Floral Suede Shirt Refash

 

I picked up this lovely shirt because of the beautiful floral print and the soft fauz suede feel of the material! I’m not a total fan of collared shirts for ladies, I believe they aren’t very flattering. So, that gave me some inspiration to make this a more feminine shirt!

Alright! I dove right in! I removed the sleeves and the collar for starters.

I took the shirt over to my dress form and started to take the sides in for a more fitted look. Once the sides were taken in, I sewed a new hem around where the sleeves were. Then I stitched where I took the collar off.

I took the sleeves from a pink lace shirt and placed it on the front shoulder area of the floral shirt. I stitched it in place and with my very sharp scissors carefully trimmed the excess lace from around the stitching.

A few simple changes really makes this a new shirt!

Happy Refashioning, Crafting and Upscaling!!!
