Logo Applique T-Shirt

My husband has been in dire need of a new Mets shirt (he had worn his old favorites to death), only I couldn't justifying spending $30-40 on a t-shirt. Thrift store run!

This is what I found (less than $10).

I made a logo from the extra shirts (PTL for freezer paper!), and this is what I got:

Hubs is pretty happy (so I am too!). Come visit me at Wunderbar for details about the applique process.

Refashion influencing fashion world?

I couldn't believe this new design byVogue

Mods- i hope you dont mind, but i thought other refashioners might be interested in this design, as it seems right up our alley!

I dont need anything that sopisticated but it does give me ideas. Wouldnt it be great is this seasons fashion we all these different fabrics, so easy to make with refashioning :)

How to Make a Fascinator

For my sister's wedding, I volunteered to make the hairpieces for the flower girls, the bride, and some of the bridesmaids. I walked around Hobby Lobby for at least two hours trying to figure out the most economical, yet classy, way to make them. Here is my simple tutorial.

The Supplies

(part of) The Process

The Headband

 The Fascinator Clip

Modeling the Headband

The whole process was a little bit time consuming, but it was such a fun and creative project. I used a headband that I already had, and the total cost of supplies for making these two things was around $1.25. Ridiculous, right? Somebody somewhere is making a fortune on Etsy selling these mugs... If you would like a more detailed tutorial, you can visit me at SecondHand Couture.

T-Shirt Recycling #2

As promised, here comes my next t-shirt recycling project. This dress is a lot less beach, and a lot more elegant than the first one. Still, it's a jersey dress you can simply throw into the washing machine like any old t-shirt (which it is, basically...):

It even features a little zip pocket, which cannot be seen well in these pictures...

These are the shirts I used:

Again, lots of step-by-step photos are posted at my blog: Of Dreams and Seams. Thank you for reading - take care and happy sewing!
