'MakeOver Monday'
... sharing how I cut up & REmake items from my wardrobe
in the hope you'll pick up scissors & start cutting up yours!

Seems that in keeping with the quick REfashion that was this frock
everyone who could take photos of me wearing her this morning
was in a rush to be somewhere else
so I apologise if they're a little blurry or bits of me are missing
never-the-less I'm appreciative that amongst them
there were enough decent ones
for me to share how the NWJJ does become the star when worn over the frocks silvery grey blockiness

I love the frock and can see her being worn lots.
As with any REfashion or REinvent you never really know how it's going to turn out until it's underway

it was a very simple idea that sprung to mind

I'm actually having trouble remembering the last time I undertook such an uncomplicated REfashion
I'm actually having trouble remembering the last time I undertook such an uncomplicated REfashion
it was literally a matter of chopping the tops
off the t-shirt & frock
swapping them over
and REstitching
so simple in fact
that I went looking for more volunteers
to make another one!

psst! see the shoes - I'd like to thank the person in Albany who decided to donate these brand new embroidered red leather little heeled Hush Puppies so I could have them...there's a family wedding coming up later this year which I think they'll be perfect for - just need something to wear with them!

Next Week
feeling bruised & fragile
so looking for solace
by creating
something soft & pretty, floaty & delicate
because sometimes you need life to mimic your next sewing venture
