Refashioned Clothes

This t-shirt makeover is inspired by the Nickleby bib top by J Crew and I fell in love with the shirt several months ago.I have been wanting something different rather than ruffle shirt to wear underneath a cardigan, this was a perfect design for that!

DIY Peasant Top! Cottagecore Thrift Flip

DIY Peasant Top! Cottagecore Thrift Flip

Are you inspired by the clothes you see around you? On our recent holidays in France a woman walked past in an off-shoulder top, dip dyed, blue at the top fading to white at the bottom…It looked so chic.

A great match.…

I’ve been eyeing off some pretty nice ones at Gorman, but at $150 they are a little too pricey for me, especially when I can make one myself in an afternoon. I picked up a nice chambray shirt a few weeks ago at Vinnies for $8 and thought it would be perfect for a refashion session. The shirt was ok, I love the colour and how it fits on top, but the length was…

This has been one of my favorite sewing projects lately, I have already made two, and have some backup shirts ready for more! I like this project, 1. because it uses Hubby's old button down shirts,...

Here's how I got on adapting the New Look K6483 pattern that came with Sew Style & Home Magazine to make a summer top from an old shirt.

I refashioned another men’s shirt! 😀 I cut along the turquoise line and sewed the new side and shoulder seams together. Then I removed the pocket and added darts. Now the shirt fits much better. Instead of self-fabric bias binding, I finished all raw edges (the V-neck and armscyes) with my faux 1920s picot hem. … Continue reading Men’s Shirt To Women’s Blouse – Refashion →

It's getting pretty hard to ignore the tie dye trend right now. Pajama sets! Dresses! Workout clothes! You're sure to find tie dye pretty much everywhere at the moment, and we love this iconic summer print. I mean, any trend that is easy to DIY is sure to be a hit around here. Currently we are seeing a monochromatic version in lots of boutiques that is a little more stylish and grown up, and we've found the best way to achieve a similar look isn't by drenching your chosen clothing item…

1 Thrifted and Vintage Denim Vest + 2 yards Floral Fabric = 1 Upcycled Maxi Dress! I found this vest at the thrift store while looking for jean jackets to upcycle and embellish. I didn't find any jackets that day and rather than be defeated I swooped this up thinking I could at least use the material. The buttons and darts are so cute though. I had to come up with something. Then I got this floral rayon and the blue of the flowers matched the blue of the denim almost exactly so I…
