    A Shirr Bet Pillowcase Dress / Save the Arts in SC!

    Hello friends!  Did you miss me?  ðŸ™‚  Well, push that separation anxiety aside!  I’m back!  Now…I’m not going to be blogging a new refashion EVERY DAY or anything (because only a crazy person would do such a thing), but rest assured…I still have many fun tricks up my refashioned sleeve to share with you!  ðŸ™‚ Where to begin?  I had a delightful week off!  ðŸ™‚  Lots of time to reflect and decompress!  I had a fun viewing party for my…

    Day 365: Kitschy Dress

    June 29, 2012 / 43 Comments

    Today’s piece is a fun & kitschy handmade house dress.  ðŸ™‚ Okay…I’m not a fan of the brown & white print (too tablecloth-y!) and this is obviously too big for me.  Let’s see what we can do about all that, shall we? First, I threw the dress into a dye bath with my good friend, Scarlet.  ðŸ™‚ After about 40 minutes in the dye and a rinse & dry, my new dress was ready to be taken in! I decided…

    Day 364: All Tied Up Top

    June 28, 2012 / 24 Comments

    Today’s piece isn’t exactly fashion-forward, but it has sparkles to spare! Alright.  The only thing I like about this top is the subtle glittery print.  Time for some serious choppage! You can see how I’ve laid out one of my best-fitting tanks as a template for the shape of my future top.  Are you wondering why I’ve left so much room on the sides?  ðŸ™‚ I cut a bunch of 1″ish strips down each side, then tied them together! This…

    Day 363: All the Angles Dress

    June 27, 2012 / 22 Comments

    When I found today’s dress at one of my fave $1 thrift stores,  I was stoked!  Check out the amazeballs print!  🙂 You’re looking at a totally 80’s shoulderpadded number that desperately needs a facelift!  Time for a Nip/Tuck! First, I made a big chop! Then, I took in the whole thing about 2″ on each side. After cutting off the excess material, I folded the top raw edge over twice and stitched it down, leaving about a 1″ gap. …

    Day 362: Mairi Shrug

    June 26, 2012 / 30 Comments

    Today’s piece comes from a land down under!  And yes – You’d better run.  You’d better take cover!  🙂 You haven’t even seen the best part yet! I pretty much died laughing when I opened Mairi’s package.  She certainly gave me quite a challenge!  🙂 Alright…as I’m not into Victorian Cosplay, these unmentionables were going to require a complete overhaul! First, I reached into my dye stash and pulled out this: Into a nice, hot bath of dye the bloomers…

    Day 361: The Right to Bare Arms…er…Arm Dress

    June 25, 2012 / 20 Comments

    Some days I honestly just don’t want to bother. But I must soldier on!  I’m so verrrrry close to the end of my 365 Day project!!!! The print on today’s dress is lovely, but the cut and the size aren’t quite doing it for me.  I wasn’t in a sewing mood, so I started playing with my new dress, and pinned it in a couple of places. Okay…so the above pics are slightly less than informative, so let me explain…
