My first post

Hi I'm Ali from Scotland.  I'm so pleased to be making my first post here :-)

I've been refashioning for a while but have only just started recording my efforts in blog form.  I blog about lots of other stuff but my whole lifestyle is based around recycling/upcycling and living life to the fullest on a tight budget.

My recent favourite refashion has been this old jacket my son was throwing out.


It was in good condition, just a bit grubby so I washed it then dyed it lavender.


I cut out some triangles backed with fabric sticky stuff and stitched them onto the back of the jacket


Voila!
 

The zips stayed white!!

The new lavender shade is great and the triangles add a lovely touch.
Glad to have you here as a contributor!
