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".)

My Creative Space

Another day, another meme! Only today I am QUITE late in joining in, I have a good excuse though, really I do... I was busy, well, creating!

And here she is (I do indeed feel like Dr Frankenstein...), Elvira!!

I figured if I was going to do the Wardrobe Refashion thing right, it would be made a whole lot easier by having a dressmakers model of moi. I considered putting my $100 winnings towards an actual, fancy-pants, proper dummy - but a) I'm cheap & b) That's not very crafty.

So I donned a garbage bag & wrapped myself in cloth tape - ah - what a way to spend a Wednesday night! My darling boy was roped in to help eventually & many laughs were had, I was crying with laughter actually...!

I think she turned out great - and making her was so much more fun than clicking "Add To Cart"! She's much more sassy & daring than I, but that's okay, I think we'll get along just fine.

Thanks Kirsty for having us all over again this week!
