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. She teaches Fashion/Design and Speech/Drama at two junior high schools, which I find impressive given my fear of youths. I obviously love fashion, and I less-obviously hold a degree in Theatre (my professional career has been a winding path indeed). Anne recently challenged her students to upcycle a garment of their choosing, and I hope she’ll share some pics with me,…
Melissa’s Skirt to Capelet Reader ReFash
I’ve been scouring the racks at my favorite thrift stores for a nice warm cape. Since I sometimes wear items with belled sleeves, they don’t always fit very well into my coat sleeves. A cape is a perfect solution! Sadly, I have had absolutely no luck in finding one. But it looks like my luck has changed, thanks to Melissa over at Trevor Loves Mommy!
Cathi’s Reader ReFash

One option is to own garments that can can be worn in multiple ways. That’s just one reason why I dig this refash by Cathi from Scratch and Stitch.

Mary Poppins: A Reader ReFash
I LOVED seeing your responses to my It’s Curtains for You, Sweetheart post! It was nice to discover I’m not the only person digging in the bins for sweetly cheap fabric!
Kaylinn’s Reader ReFash!
When I saw this pic of Kaylinn, I must confess I had my doubts that there was much to be done with her chosen starter piece. :/ She’s a braver woman than I. I HATE velour and velvet. Yes, they look nice (although this shirt is looking a bit scary as-is), but I HATE the texture of them. I CAN’T STAND to touch them (or cotton balls for that matter). Does this make me weird? Anywho, thankfully Kaylinn…
