The Birthday Girl's Tshirt Refashion

I made a cute top for my little girl's birthday out of a too small tshirt and a plain white tshirt. It turned out really nice and I will be doing it with a few more too small tshirts :)

Tshirt dress

I actually made this dress a while back but I totally forgot to blog about it. I took the top half of a plain tshirt and the bottom half of a hoodie that was too big for my little girl, stitched them together and stitched a strip of material over the seam to hide it. I am absolutely in love with it, I think it turned out so cute!

Hoodie to baby pants refashion

I made these cute baby pants a while back but forgot to post about them. I made them out of the sleeves of an 11-12yo hoodie that I got on sale. I love them, they are soo cute. Soo comfy too, I imagine!

Top to dress refashion

I got this dress three years ago when Leyla was a little 1 year old. It was far too short and needed some length adding to the bottom but I procrastinated with it for so long that Leyla is now far too big and it has been passed down to her younger sister.

It was really easy to make, I just traced around the dress to make my add on piece and stitched it on. Simple!

Ruffle Heart Tshirt Refashion

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I posted on here but I am back with a gorgeous little tshirt I refashioned for my two girls to wear for Valentine's Day.

I made a long ruffle out of a pair of cute leggings and stitched it onto the front of a plain tshirt in a heart shape. Cute!

Baggy Tshirt to Knotted Vest Top Refashion

I had a tshirt that I bought just after I had given birth to Naomie. I was breastfeeding and had huge boobs (lol) so I ended up buying a few tops that are far too big on me now I've shrunk back to my pre-pregnancy size. I decided to turn one of them into a knotted vest top. I love wearing cropped tops over vest tops, I think it looks awesome so it was a no brainer for me.

Unfortunately I don't have a before picture because I always forget to take one! It was just a basic short sleeved, long tshirt. To make my new pretty top, I just cut the sleeves off. I was going to cut the neckline off aswell and make a low neck so you could see the vest top underneath but decided to keep the high neck instead. To wear it, I just gather the material around my waist and tie in a knot.

Love my new top :)

Off Shoulder, Knot Tied Crop Top

A few days ago I found an old tshirt that Paul had left behind when he went home. Rather than give him it back like I probably should've done, I decided to make it into a top for me :P

I started out with a basic men's size medium tshirt:

A few snips and chops later and I ended up with a gorgeous new top:

Summer refashions and repairs

I'm on holiday at the minute so I haven't been able to do as much crafting as I would like but I have still managed to do a few bits :)

I'm afraid I don't have any before pics because I tend to cut before I think.

The sleepsuits were long sleeved and long legged and I just cut them off to make them short sleeved and short legged. It's sooo hot here in Turkey but I don't want to leave her nakey because she tends to rip her nappy off if she can see it, plus I don't want for her to be mosquito food :P

The blue trousers were actually already 3/4 length pants, they were just much baggier, longer and not elasticated on the bottom. I just took them a little up on the inside leg to make them more fitted then made a casing on the bottom of each leg for the elastic. They actually looked ridiculously big for me before but they fit me really nicely now.

The top looked no different since all I did was take up the shoulders. I pinned at the top of the shoulders where I wanted to take them up to, ran a line of straight stitch over then folded the excess material to the back and ran some zıgzag stitching up each side to help the material lie flat and stop bunching.

The flip flops were just plain white cheapo flip flops. I actually bought them plain so I could add a little crochet flower on in whatever colour I wanted. I did white and black so they match with most of my clothes. I just crocheted two flowers, one small and one bigger, then stitched them together with a cross through the middle and wrapped them around the toe piece of my flip flop.

Skinny Jeans out of Flared Jeans

I did a nice simple refashion on these jeans recently. Just finished the hems today in fact, although I have been wearing them unfinished for a few weeks now.

"I Heart Sailors" Tshirt Bracelet

Tshirt Shrug

I wanted a nice quick and easy refashion to do the other night so I turned a plain black long sleeved tshirt into a pretty little shrug :)

Ripped jeans into slashed knee jeans refashion

I made these out of a pair of skinny jeans I had that were ripped on one knee. I just put them on and cut and ripped where I wanted to. Nice and easy :)

Jeans into shorts refashion

Hi everyone :) I have a tiny refashion to share today. It took hardly any work at all and is probably something you've all done a million times but I thought I'd share anyways :)

Yesterday, I made a pair of shorts out of some old jeans that were not being worn. I love wearing shorts (with tights in winter). A girl can never have too many pairs of shorts :)

All I did was cut off the legs where I thought I wanted the shorts to sit on my leg. I didn't hem them. I'm going to wash them a  few times and see if I like the raggy look and if not, I will hem them with some pretty fabric :)

I have tons of refashions and tutorials on my blog, Mammy Made, aswell as recipes and homeschooling ideas. If you'd like to take a look, I'd love to see you over there :)

Mens shirt to little girl's dress

I've hardly posted lately :( I've been busy making lots out of my fabric stash but nothing refashioned. I've just found this tutorial I had saved but forgot to post *facepalm* It's quite old now and I still haven't finished it off yet *must get motivated!!* It's finished enough to wear though so I figured I'll finish off later :P

I looked through my refashion pile (which btw seems to be getting bigger not smaller! How does that work? Must refashion more!) and found this old shirt that Paul gave me a while back. He didn't really like it on so he happily donated it to me.

I decided to make a little girl's dress out of it. I was inspired by this tutorial by Girl. Inspired. I decided I didn't want to do the shirring along the waist (didn't want to...find shirring impossible...whatever lol, same difference in my house). I cut it to be a quite fitted, knee length a-line dress, then added puffed sleeves for which I used this tutorial at MADE.

I ended up with this:

I have yet to finish the bands on the sleeves but I need to find some plain black shirt material first so I'll be charity shopping/Primark-ing it next time I'm in town to find some. Seems a shame to buy a whole shirt just to make two little sleeve bands so I might have to use the rest of the black shirt to make another smaller dress and use leftovers from this one so my two babies can match :) Cute!

Freezer paper stencilling

The other day I made my two babies a lovely little matching top each out of a plain white tshirt :)

Dress to apron refashion

I made an apron last night and today out of a dress I bought in a charity shop. Turned out really nice if I do say so myself.

Made this:

Baby bib

Sorry that I've been missing for so long. I went for a week to visit my Auntie and then went abroad  for 3 weeks to visit my Mam so I havent had much chance to refashion. The few things I have gotten round to doing have been using stash but not refashioning, just plain old material. Tonight I figured I'd better get something done because I don't want to lose my membership. I decided to make a bib. I've been wanting to make one for a long time so I figured tonight was a good a time as any :) I really like it but I think I'll make the next one longer. My kids seem to manage to get their food everywhere so the big bibs are the ones I use first.

I made it using an old towel and a curtain :) I have a tutorial on my blog - Mammy Made

Zombie Bride Halloween Outfit

I made myself a zombie bride halloween outfit for a party on Saturday. I took a long sleeved tshirt with a round neck, folded it in half then cut off the neckline up to about half an inch away from the shoulder seam to make it an off shoulder top. I made the skirt from 10metres of tulle which I did have to buy but I made the underskirt out of some white knit I had in my stash and a hula hoop :)

It's only partly refashioned but if you want to have a look it's on my blog, Mammy Made.

Boob tube to gathered skirt refashion

I picked up a boob tube/skirt (I'm not entirely sure which) in Primark a long long time ago. Like so long I don't even remember buying it. Oops. I was looking through my refashion pile last night for something to make and I found it so I decided to make my biggest girl a skirt out of it. It didn't turn out perfect, it's far too puckery on the waistband for my liking, but she'll definitely wear it! And it only took me about half an hour to make it!!

I've written all about it on my blog, Mammy Made :)

Slashed Jeans

I made some slashed jeans last night. They didn't turn out exactly as I'd imagined but I still like them lots. Think they'd look mint with brightly coloured tights underneath!

See how I did it here.
