At least I can content myself with looking for inspiration on Pinterest, even if does add to my ever growing list.
Lately I've had an urge to start re-fashioning garments again, thanks to finding Charity Shop Chic's blog, talk about inspirational although I did have to pinch myself for not finding this blog sooner. I'm both completely obsessed and taken aback by what this girl creates.
I use to alter-clothes and tweak them all the time before I really got into sewing properly, but what Charity Shop Chic does I can only dream of doing!
Currently my list of refashions includes
- sewing lace onto denim shorts
- making a cape out of a hounds tooth wool skirt
- a pair of shorts out of a flower print skirt
- re-dying a pair of green jeans
- and giving Miss P 's polka dot jeans a whirl
"making a cape out of a hounds tooth wool skirt" How!!?! I can't wait to see this!!

it's been in the pipe line for awhile, back last year I bought said skirt from a charity shop, it's a size 20 and heavily pleated so I'm hoping once all the pleats are unpicked it will give me enough material for a very low detail, basic cape or so I hope :)
DeleteMe too, I loved the way Charity Shop copied the Stella McCartney jacket and thanksfor relaying Miss P's polka dot jeans. There's an outfit that makes you dream of Spring (because this dreamy season has not arrived yet down here)!
ReplyDeleteI though she did a brilliant job on the Stella McCartney jacket!!
DeleteSnap spring hasn't arrived here either :( we've had a few sunny days but it's still bitterly cold!
