Here is the best thing about freecycling clothes - you never know what you are going to get!
I recently ended up with a lot of polka dots items! Here are 3 of them:
I took out little post it notes and wrote how I wanted to refashion those items. One of them being a shirt (that I turn into a blazer in todays post - it was so easy, you are going to fall off your chairs :) )and then the other tfolk polka dots surprises are pants, both of which will get refashioned sometime soon, hopefully this weekend!
The first thing I wanted to do was get rid of the shoulder pads, because they werent rocking my boat!
Then I rolled up the sleeves! Since this is a 100% polyester Chaus top, I can't imagine anyone wearing this as a shirt! Maybe in the winter, but you would still sweat buckets! The tricky thing with polyester though is that when rolled up it doesn't necessarily hold the intended shape, so I suggest you make a couple stitches and hold that rolled up fold in place, or you can jut safety pin it, if you are like me :) I told you it was going to be easy! And perfect with skinnies:
Sorry for being MIA - I had training at work - free food and beauty products :) ah - life is good :)
Have an awesome weekend everyone!

I have pulled many a shoulder pad out of would-be cute tops and dresses. Does make such a difference!
