Add in the major de-junking that I have been doing room by room in my house and I suddenly have a high percentage of my wardrobe that could use some refashioning.
Way too many times in the last few days, I have asked myself "now why did I think I looked cute in that???" and bags upon bags have been plopped on my porch to be enjoyed by happy Freecyclers.
In the midst of all that cleaning I did set aside
a box specifically for future refashions.
Meet refashion #1
-Simple white hand me down sun hat.
Very useful. Very plain.
-Three "quitter" bathing suits.
(in my crazy vocab a quitter is anything where the elastic has quit being elastic-y)
All it took was a show on the DVR,
some scissors,
a needle and thread...
to make Janey a new {to her} hat.
well done!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool idea!! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great - very darling.

ReplyDeleteIntriguing indeed...

ReplyDeleteJulie, you're my hero :)
ReplyDeleteThat turned out very well! And it seems like something that will be put to good use, especially since there are sensitive baby noggins to protect. :-)

ReplyDeleteSo, so, SO cute!
ReplyDeleteWow, you are very crafty, that would have never crossed my mind!
ReplyDeleteah! you're a genius! i just threw away that same polka dot bathing suit a couple days ago because it was a quitter!
