A little "refashion" I forgot to post...

I posted this 'hardly a refashion at all refashion' over on Wardrobe Refashion on Tuesday but forgot to post it here as Tuesday was the day of the faithfull camping trip & I was in a hurry to head off & pack various necessary.... necessities.




This top come tunic come dress deal'e has been hanging around here for YEARS. You may recall it from Punk's Dress Up adventure (yes... seems I use the box of "things to do something with" as a dress up box....). I didn't wear it because of the weird top part... I mean.... what IS going on there...?! I intended to make it into a skirt or something, until on camping day, it was pretty warm & I couldn't find anything to wear, I spotted it again & had an idea...




I was actually wearing it while "fixing" it, and it took no time at all, but I was so happy with the result - something, well, wearable! (Not to mention accented with the very height of fashion - the classic "red button".)

  3. That has to be one of the quickest yet most stylish upcycles in the history of...well, upcycling. (And I bet The Boy didn't complain either)

  9. I love a neckline refashion - it looks great. (I like the element of danger that comes with sewing clothes whilst you are wearing them too!)

  10. If you've got it, flaunt it! And you did ;) Love the red button too.

  11. Gypsy - despite what the picture apparently shows (according to you & Tas anyway!), I most certainly DO NOT "have it" to flaunt...!

    Liesl, well, I DO like to live life on the edge... ;)
