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!
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?
I love it! I have a few dresses I'm planning on making into tunics. I love the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, thank you! Dresses into tunics is a good idea too! If we just stop and think, we can come up with a way to get further life out of our clothing ... most of the time!!
