Valentine Elbow Patches

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I found this amazing wool sweater at a clothes swap new with tags still attached. I was super excited because I knew it was very warm and well made.

I had to make the sweater a little smaller. It was more of a men's small or medium and I needed a woman's small or medium.

I also dressed up the sweater a little with some embroidered elbow patches. They were perfect because Valentine's Day is coming soon.

 This sweater was warm and cozy for the snowy weather that was happening in my part of the world. Thanks for reading along, for more pictures and details go to I Can Work With That.

So Much Pink

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I did a sweatshirt refashion that I wanted to share. This pink sweatshirt was plain and simple. It was perfect for a project.

I also had a pink shirt with a lacey scalloped hem. I wanted to use it to make bell sleeves. 

I also had a pair of lacey shorts. They were too small for me to wear as shorts. I just wanted to use them for the lace.

I cut the sleeves of the sweatshirt and took the sides in just a bit.

I made bell sleeves from the shirt and I added lace to the waistband to dress it up.

I was really happy with this "fancy" new sweatshirt. All the pieces of this new shirt came from clothes swaps over the last few years so the cost was $0. I did buy thread so maybe it was a few cents.

Open Sleeve Refash

 I was so blessed to receive a few bags of clothes from my dear boyfriend’s mom’s neighbor! She saw my blog as was so kind to donate some things for my refash stash!

This shirt definitely is cute in it’s self but I think I can jazz it up a bit! (Don’t mind my polar bear jammies)

I began by making a new v- neckline. I cut straight down the front of the shirt and stitched the flaps back in a rolled hem fashion.

Once the new neckline was finished I noticed it was a very deep plunging neckline- a little too risky for a daytime shirt. So, I added some scrap lace to the inside to class it up a bit.

Neckline: Check!

Next order of business was to take in the sides and sleeves.

Now, don’t get me wrong I loved the two open pieces in the sleeves but I figured I should tie the black lace together from the front. So, I took the same scrap lace and sewed it behind the top open slit.

Finished it off with a button! I’ve been waiting a long time to used these cool buttons!

Happy Refashioning, Crafting and Upscaling!!!
