Sometimes refashioning can be small but very effective! Here are my 3 small refashioning projects from September:
Applique Numbers onto existing t-shirts
My kids wanted to have their ages reflected in their school photos. Instead of going to out to a store to hunt for t-shirts with their age numbers, I simply used remnant fabrics to create the numbers and applique'd them onto their favourite tshirts. Really quick and easy!
Adding a side-slit to a tight skirt - I like very much this warm, wool blend, sparkly sweater skirt that I thrifted years ago. Unfortunately it was too restrictive to speed-walk and run in it (my default walking mode is speed-walking). So I used my seam-ripper to carefully ripped out the seam on one side of the skirt and now I can walk and run easily in it!

What a great idea to have the age of the child on the shirt. I love it.
And the skirt is great, moms need freedom to move!

So right!!! Small changes can be very effective. And they are often the ones I get done to keep items in the wear it now rotation. Your skirt looks really sharp. Picture day Shirt numbers could become a picture day tradition.
I love theidea of having the age on the shirt! Makes organizing pictures so much easier! Thanks so much for the awesome idea!

Thanks ladies for your comments! I have to credit my kids for coming up with the 'age on the shirt' school photo idea!
