Strapless Dress Fix

 Does anyone else have problems wearing strapless dresses? I always find the cutest strapless dresses but I hate wearing them because they are always slipping down on me. Well, I have the perfect solution!

Grab yourself a tank top of any kind! I happened to love this lace one!

First I put the lace tank top onto my dress form then slipped the strapless dress ontop.

I pinned the two pieces together, and stitched them together on my machine!

A simple but super cute solution to the strapless problem!

Happy Refashioning!!!

Blue Lace Upcycle

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I found this blue eyelet lace dress at a swap and loved the color, but it was too tight. I loved the lace so much! I had to make something. A summer shirt it is!

Before and after.

The bottom of the dress was going to be the body of my new shirt. It was the biggest part of the dress and the prettiest. Win-win!

I had these 2 pieces to make straps. I wanted the flowers in the middle to be the front of my new straps.

 

I played around to get the straps even and stitched them in.

I had a top fit for a summer heat wave in no time. Thanks for reading along, for more pictures and details go to I Can Work With That.

Placemat & napkins turned into summer top

Hi everyone! This time I'm transforming a set of placemats and napkins into a summer top. I came across this beautifully embroidered set when I was clearing up the house of my mother-in-law after she died 3 years ago. There's a blue and pink pair (for him and her?) and it's all very neatly handsewn. I knew right away I wanted to save it for a future project. So here it goes... enjoy!

More details about this summer project and how the placemats and napkins probably came into my mother-in-law's possession on vermaakster.blogspot.com. You'll find a step by step explanation in Dutch and English. 

Blue Denim Shirts

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I love getting hand-me-downs. My daughter gave me these 2 dresses. They were great but I did not need any denim dresses. I needed a denim shirt or 2 to wear with the wild and crazy patterns and colors I find at clothes swaps and thrift stores. 

Before and after.

I gave this shirt a big cut n length and it turned into a fun cropped button-up style shirt.

This seemed super useful and versatile.

This second dress was a bit darker in color and the buttons were fake. 

This shirt also got a big cut and was perfect for tucking into these patterned shorts. Thanks for reading along for more pictures and details go to I Can Work With That.

Linen Luna Tank

 Hello Refashion Co-op. It is so hot where I live. I have been loving linen lately. I wanted to turn some of the fabric in my stash into clothes so here is my first linen garment from the decorator fabric scraps my mother-in-law gave me.

 

Before and after.

I didn't have much linen so I had to make a small project. A tank top seemed great for summer. I decided to use the Luna Tank from Helen's Closet Patterns. (Not an ad.) It doesn't require a lot of fabric and it's free online. 

I serged all my edges because linen frays so much. I liked how the top looked so I didn't make the neck and arm holes as the pattern directed.

Close-up!

I was really happy with this pattern and how it turned out with linen. It's loose and flowy and that works well with this fabric.Thanks for reading along, for more pictures and details go to my blog, I Can Work With That.
