Accessory refashion



Hi all! I know I've been really quiet but like many others I'm in finals at University which means minimal time for sewing. Give me a month and I'll be bothering you!

Today is just a quick little refashion. I had this jersey dress in my cupboard and it was definitely worn out. Funny warping, moth holes, discolouration: eew! I had grand plans to recreate Nette's braided scarf but unfortunately I screwed up my measurements and it all turned out a bit yucky. 

So what am I to do with all of the little braids? Make bracelets and necklaces of course! Braiding them reminded me of creating hyper-colour friendship bracelets in the 90s. They're still cool in my books!








I have another jersey dress in my cupboard with the same ailments as this poor little minty number, so I'm going to attempt to make that into the braided scarf.

As always, tips and hints welcome!
