Rebecca’s Mysteriously Censored Reader ReFash
In my last refashion, a question came up that I’m going to address here. “How do you know when you can turn a garment around and make the back the front of your new refash?” First off, let’s look at this example by Rebecca:

Anne’s Dramatically Groovy Reader ReFash
I’m excited to share a Reader ReFash with you that came to me from a kindred spirit named Anne.
