Tidying up my blog and Refashion Co-Op I realized I missed a few posts so I thought I would put them all in one.... enjoy!
1. First is a white silk scarf I somehow wound up with and I don't know how. I don't know if someone gave it to me to refashion or what exactly.
It was too plain. In conjunction with another project, I dyed it with the new RIT color Aqua (which btw is fabulous!) Then I tried my hand at stamping with peacock feather stamp-b/c I am slightly obsessed with peacock feathers. My end project looks like this (which you can read about
here). I am in love with this scarf!
2. Next project is also sort of simple, I removed a turtleneck from a wool sweater. I am bound and determine to wear color this past winter so I went for an orange sweater. Yes it is orange!
I removed the turtleneck and I am in the process of turning the leftover fabric into a cozy. Here is my after!
You can read all of what I did
here. But it was a nice way to add color to my work wardrobe.
3. This was a super easy refashion. Sometimes it is just the little details that need to be changed on a clothing item in order for it to work. Take this red sweater with buttons.
The buttons serve absolutely ZERO purpose but they I guess were added to jazz it up??? Who knows but I thought they needed to go and it really changed the way the sweater looked. I added a tank top with some sparkly detail underneath to compliment the neckline.
To me the sweater flows visually and now I have 6 red buttons for another project. More on this project
here.
4. Last but not least! This refashion was almost a mistake. Or you could call it serendipity...
The right sleeve of this shirt was made weird and tended to pull, which then offset the symmetry of the top. I had full intentions of taking out the sleeves and turning it into a sleeveless shirt, when I accidentally put it on backwards. And lo! It worked! Bizarrely! I could move my arms fine and no need for me to bust out the seam ripper. Yes!
And yes I have a tag on my neck so I do know that I am wearing it backwards. LOL For more on this project click

Well now I am all caught up! Yay!
