Day 300: Culture Vulture Top
I get so inspired from all the fun prints I find when I go thrifting. Sadly, the fun fabric isn’t doesn’t always belong to the most fun garments! This is a pretty basic elastic-waisted skirt. Meh. Not much going on here. Today I was in a rare jeans mood, so a skirt wasn’t going to work! I grabbed my scissors and snipped off that elastic waistband. I wasn’t going to need the side pockets on this skirt, so I stitched…
Day 286: A No-Sew Tiered Dress to Maxi Skirt Refashion
When I found this dress, I confess…I was pretty worried. I had no clue what the heck I was going to do to save it. :/ This is some SERIOUSLY scary old lady dress territory here! As I had no idea where I was going with this one, I began by chopping off the things that annoyed me. 🙂 Then, I began playing with the dress…trying to wear it in different ways…and then I found a way that actually worked!…
Day 264: Nomadic Skirt
Ah! Rememeber Day 246? And how after making a cute lil top, I was still stuck with that bottom scrap? I told you guys I would be turning it into a cute skirt, and that’s exactly what I did!

Whew! Today I got the last of my stuff moved in to my new abode! 🙂 🙂 🙂 And just in time to head over to a friend’s place to catch the season finale of The Walking Dead! There was just one problem…I couldn’t find my box of to-be-refashioned stuff! 🙁 I did, however, have this sweatshirt I bought for a $1 in a recent thrifting venture. I took a cue from The Sartorialist, one of my fave fashion blogs. …
Day 203: Living My Life Like It’s Golden Skirt
It all began with a skirt. It’s not a bad skirt, but there are a couple of things I want to change about it. For starters, I don’t like the black & whiteness of it. By now, most of you know I’m pretty miserly with my dye. That tunic from Day 198 wasn’t alone in its bath of Mystery Dye! So…now that color is looking awesome, but there’s a second problem! Not a prob! I quickly stitched a dart in…
