Using up little odds and ends of yarn left over from other projects Both project made from free patterns. Links on my blog.

The goal was to try to create a non-ugly holiday sweater. Here's what I came up with: More info and pictures on my blog.

I fell in love with this 1950s duchess satin dress when I thrifted it for $3 a couple of years ago. It was showing signs of severe neglect and eventually the right shoulder seam blew. So I've cut the dress to create a one-shoulder number. I think it's worked and now I can wear it without worryin...

So, I've upgraded my pledge to "life" after a bit of humming and hrr-ing. Phew! But I've always sewn for myself, and I've managed not to shop in the last year and don't miss it at all. In fact now I'm too fussy about new clothes in the shop, that they have some thing or another that I want to...

Hi! I wasn't going to post this as I wasn't thinking about this as a refashion, but then it occurred to me that it was because all of the fabric I have used came from something else. I made this for my mother after my father's death, and it contains pieces of his shirt. On the back is a thr...

Here's an update on my t-shirt refashion posted earlier. I have a pic of my niece in her dress/top. I can't wait to make more... eventually.

It's taken me a long time to get around to doing anything for wardrobe refashioning; I have been religiously op-shopping and haven't broken on the no new clothes part of the pledge, getting behind the machine has been a different story. I started small, and just shortened a dress... a circle ski...

Hi! It's Vic! So, I was looking for flat booties. My mom knew this. So, when she went to a friend's, and I don't know exactly how this came about, she bought a rarely-used pair of knee-high slouch boots for $5. Now, I don't have anything against slouch boots, but these made my legs look huge...

More love for the circle skirt tute over at MADE. I made matching skirts for me and my daughter. Details on my blog.

Previously seen skirt made from old pants and older curtain - dinner napkin set Seemingly unrelated apron made from the bottom front of a denim barn jacket..... what can they possibly have in common? A shared problem of what to do with the top of the barn coat and the rest of the napkins....

Hi Everyone! I made these bags at the start of this week, one for myself and one for my sister! I used a tutorial I found at craftster, which I've used before for a bag similar, and I just love it! I used this AWESOME eyeball fabric that was gifted to me from my Captain + Craft Wife - Thera...

A very simple shoe refashion, but a refashion none-the-less I picked up a pair of black cowboy boots from a clothing exchange, which I love, but not the light brown embroidered stitching: Some black boot polish from my husbands stash quickly fixed up that problem, so now I have a pair of comp...

So we're nearly 1 month into our pledges and I feel like I've done really well. I've bought fabric but fabric for me is cheaper than clothing! lol I was raised Conservative Southern Baptist. For those of you overseas or not religious you may not know what this means. But to make it easy I wore ...
