More for less
Embellishments are a great way to change and upcycle an item and anything is allowed, that mean lace, buttons, appliqué, piping, beading, feathers… Haberdashery could go MAD.
I added some embellishments to a bland cardi and the final result is so cute.

From office bore to sexy hot
I used this work shirt that is cute but a bit boring and its been in my wardrobe for years. I love the girlly frills and could not trow away or either wear out because of the formal look so I decided to remove the colar and the sleeves.

Introducing House of Pinheiro !
Oi (It’s Hi in Portuguese) Girls,
I am excited to share some of my refashion with you!
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Rachel and I am Brazilian.
I have been working & living in England
I always loved the idea of sewing but didn't have time due working long hours. In 2009, HRH gave me machine to keep me busy as I spent lots of time at home due a heath issue and I never looked back. I am so impressed how wonderful the sewing community is and I made many wonderful friends.
I have a blog on everything I do called HOUSE OF PINHEIRO and I share my latest projects on sewing, what’s is cooking in my small kitchen , whatever other crafts I am trying my hand on (knitting, soft toy) …I am a very busy girl so If you would like to have a look and join me, I would love to share my musings with you. http://houseofpinheiro.blogspot.com/
You can see all my past refashioning under the tab- Refashion.
If I would try to describe me in words I would say … I am a brainiac, fashionista, happy, creative, tall, fun, foodie, inventive, passionate, impulsive, friendly, opinionated girl….
Enough of talking- lets get some refashioning done…
As I am member of Sew weekly community ,were we are given themes as sewing challenges, this week theme is Nautical and with so many Ill fitting clothes in my wardrobe waiting to be rescued I couldn’t resist using this “mom style” top into a cute fun skirt! Say Ahoy Sailor Skirt!
