So many projects - so little time

My heap of clothes waiting to emerge like butterflies from their refashioning cocoon is growing. Problem is finding time to spend on them. Here's a very speedy refashion I did today.

I saw this dress in a charity shop - just right for my dungaree loving teenage daughter - apart from that strange frill to the hem. Five minutes with the stitch ripper later. . . .

A much more presentable dress. I just need to match the brown top stitching thread to finish the hem.

What does everyone think about giving a refashioned charity shop purchase as a Christmas present?

A hat from a sweater (again)

Here's my latest hat - a man's beanie made from a felted sweater.

The black contrasting overlocker thread made it look more masculine/outdoorsie I thought - didn't stop me stitching a love heart inside though!

PS Frankenstein was refashioned himself from plastic milk bottles.

I used a pattern bought from kalliedesigns on etsy.

Here's the finished article, jauntily modeled don't you agree?

Customised vest

Lace from a vintage table cloth added to a charity shop vest. "Don't get my face in" said my daughter.

Hello and thanks for the invite . . . .

Hi, I'm Susan/snippa - new to Refashion Co-op but not to refashioning!

Here's a recent project of mine - blouse from dressing gown.

I don't have pictures of the original garment - blue and white striped seersucker which I dyed.

I cut the pattern from a favourite shop bought T-shirt.

Looking forward to sharing more fun with folks who don't think I'm crazy for making blouses from dressing gowns!

Thanks again,
Susan
