My self-challenge is PROJECT: “Back to Elementary School Wardrobe”
Project Goal #1: 10 Re-fashions each month beginning August when I
returned to teaching.
Goal #2: Shop from the closet. No new / used clothing for this school
year.
Goal #3: Shop from the sewing stash for Re-fashion materials.
PROBLEM: My new school is very cold and drafty. Thermostats are centrally controlled
and we cannot adjust them. I need a weeks woth of camis under sweaters to keep the body core warm. BUT, I pledged to shop only the closet and stash this year.
BEFORE: Too small black stretch cami from the closet. This was a body former type and I could not breath. Black stretch top from the re-fashion
stash.
STEPS: Pull the side seam threads to open the sides. Insert lace panels
cut from the stash top.
AFTER: A perfect fit cami to
wear under sweaters on cold school days.

I like your 'no new clothes' philosophy, I bet we all have plenty already. Refashioning is enjoyable and creative.
Whatthesew. Yes I have far to many clothes. And much to much sewing and refashion stash.
The lace inserts are a brilliant idea. Great job!

I love this one. Your "No Shopping" idea is great. It pushes the creativity.
