Almost All Saints

I fell in love with this top at London's All Saints shop in Spitalfieds. But quickly fell out of love when I saw the hefty price tag. So I gathered together a few old T-shirts and a cardigan or two... Continue reading

I love shirring elastic!

The top part was some old linen trousers and the bottom part a silk and linen mix men's shirt. The buttons were from my button box. The shirring elastic transformed it. For more details and a pic of the back,... Continue reading

Eat your heart out, Cath

I don't think you can ever have too many bags. I made this really simple one in very little time using an old housecoat. I'm pleased with the Cath Kidstony feel it has too it. I'll be using it to... Continue reading

Double-refashioned patchwork skirt

I thrifted this patchwork skirt from my local car boot for £2. The owner had already added some cute little patches. All I had to do was make it shorter - harder than it sounds as I had to remove... Continue reading

Your top looks beautiful. For sun, come over to normally wet old London - we're having one of our rare sunny spells at the mo'! Fiona

This is so cute - love the vintagey feel. I love homemade bias tape too - you can use it in so many places! Well done, thanks for sharing. Fiona

C'est chic?

This is one of the easiest and satisfying refashions I've ever done. I took a striped vest I bought in a charity shop for about £2, and added a wide border at the end, made from one of my son's... Continue reading

Bikini from very stretchy dress

Now normally I like posted pictures to show items on an actual body - but believe me this is an exception! I used a favourite old bikini to make a pattern for this and used a very stretchy jersey dress... Continue reading

Brighton Frock

Not so much a refashion as a make from scratch - but I couldn't resist this 50s-style fabric with pictures of Brighton on it (Brighton being a trendy town on the south coast of England). The pattern is the Theresa... Continue reading

Curtain skirt

I'm really pleased with this skirt that I made from a pretty vintage curtain in my stash. It's cut on the bias with a drawstring waist and I think is a very flattering fit on people like me who are... Continue reading

Hi Melissa Thanks for the comment. I'm so sorry I said Burda. It is a Simplicity pattern, no. 6576. It really comes up nicely and is super quick, particularly if you do what I do and use press studs under the buttons!

Baby dresses

I made this dress from a Burda pattern downloaded from here. The black and white one was from a remnant I bought a while back and the yellow one is made from a thrifted retro pillow case. I hope baby... Continue reading
