It started with this dress. It was a cute dress, and I really like it, but its shoulders just didn't fit my shoulders right and it bugged me, making wearing it an unpleasant experience!
Have you ever had a piece of clothing that just bugged you when you wore it?
So, I cut it off and made a skirt out of it!
The remaining top part, I took apart and added to my 'fabric pantry!'
And voila ... I added a t-shirt blouse and turned it into a summer outfit. This morning, I wore the skirt and t-shirt down, without the embellishment, with a denim jacket and short boots. It made a cute outfit that worked well for the morning cooler temperatures ... I'm filing this under transitioning our wardrobes from one season to the next!
Update: a reader asked about what I used to hold the edge of the t-shirt up with, here's a closeup picture. It's a 'charm' pin that I got at a craft store quite some time ago.
I've had little time for sewing this week, but I did manage to sneak in this small repurposing project!
Don't throw it away, give it away or make a rag out of it until you try to repurpose it into something more useful!
That's it for this post, what are you stitching up and or creating?
