Hey guys!
Here are two easy 'refashions' I did this afternoon...They both took about 10 minutes!

I found a super cute blue and white top at Goodwill, but the sleeves were ruffled with elastic. I HATE elastic in my sleeves! |

Luckily, it was stitched together into a strange sort of braid, so with a little picking, it was easy to remove, leaving me with flutter sleeves! |

I also got a cute little patchwork sundress, but the neckline had these hideous, clumpy "flowers" on it. |

But they were just secured with embroidery thread, so they were easy to remove! |

Much simpler! The bottom has a stain that I will need to address with bleach, but that's a project for another day. |
My main focus is on a larger project that, while it's not a wearable item, is turning out pretty well, so I'll be sure to show it off when it's done!
Best,

Love when a simple fix moves an item into the rotation. Inspires a look into the stash.
I'm not a big fan of elastic in the sleeves either. Nice fixes.

Very simple but clever too. Great job with both.

Thanks ladies! I love the no-sew, minimal effort refashions! :D
