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!!
