Hello there! It’s been a while. It’s funny how life gets in the way.
I’ve recently been thinking a lot about refashioning clothes and making my own. After being pregnant twice in the past few years my wardrobe is in need of some serious sprucing up but unfortunately my purse/cc is not in favour. I’m also becoming increasingly aware of how i am affecting the environment and buying mass manufactured clothing would not help matters. I have come across some fabulous reconstucted clothes on the net and there are plenty of tutorials out there.
This transformed sweater is fantastic
and check out this skirt constructed from old tee’s! Fab!
I think i’ll be having a go at this, feminized men’s shirt.

Rachael and i are in the process of putting together Wardrobe Refashion, come on over and take the pledge, you know it makes sense!

Hi!
I *love* the t-shirts turned into a skirt idea and bought a load at Goodwill tonite to make some. Can you direct me to a tutorial? Thanks so much,
Kim
i second the tutorial links!
i’m in love with this post, especially the sweater. yay!
i third the tutorial links! in particular, i would like to know more about reconstructing unfelted sweaters without a serger. there’s a stack of thrift-store cashmere sitting in my closet, but i’m afraid to touch it with my regular machine lest the finished product unravel before my eyes.
The sweater is really beautiful. I reconstruct clothes. Check out my little store and let me know what you think. Love your website! Could browse here for hours! ^_^
