Madewell Inspired Distressed Denim Jacket Refashion

This refashion was inspired by this super cute Madewell Distressed Denim Jacket. My mom got one about a month ago and I really wanted one haha. :) Since I had a denim jacket already in my closet, I decided to update it. That is what I love about refashioning: using things you already have and once loved. I am totally in love with this jacket as I once was when I first got it!

STEPS I TOOK:

1. I cut the collar off and distressed it.

2. I added in new front and back yoke pieces.

3. I added two panels in the back to make the jacket less fitted.

4. I cut the hem and distressed it.

Frumpy Skirt Refash

This is a very quick re-fash..

I started out with a frumpy skirt that was not flattering on me. I hemmed it to a much shorter length...

A new shirt for Sheila

I'd had these two Goodwill bargains hanging around for quite a while, and thought it might be fun to combine them.

I cut most of the blue sweatshirt off (another piece for the fabric stash), and cut the XXL men's shirt across at the armpits. I switched the shirt to button down the back. It was wide enough to make pleats - one inverted at CF, and one either side of the button band on the back.

I stitched the chopped off garments together, and overlocked the edges.

Well.....not the most imaginative of refashions, but it'll help to hide the belly until I wrangle my appetite under control!

Later that same week................

Hmm, had left Sheila standing quietly in the corner for a couple of days, wearing this and thought it looked quite cute. Then, I put it on and had my husband take photos  - it looked terrible!!

I will use the idea of the chopped off T with a shirt bottom, but I guess Sheila can have this one - not that she gets out much, usually just hangs around the house naked!

The London Kimono Vintage Souvenir Scarf Refashion Project

I have been stitching some more of my vintage scarf kimonos as I am taking a stand at a vintage fair on Saturday - I loved this vintage London souvenir scarf and was pleased to find more scarves in my collection which toned in.  I think that using a scarf as the focal point of the design really displays it to its best advantage.

As always, I don't have a problem finding scarves in my stash to complete these projects ha ha!

If you would like to read more about this project, please visit me on my sewing blog here.

Happy stitches everyone!
