Welcome to Refashion Revision, a show where I take outdated clothes and update it into new. In this episode, I will be transforming my two XS shirts I had in my closet that I never wear, into cute 4th of July theme tops for my two girls.
BEFORE:
My memory card is fried so I couldn’t retrieve the before photos of my girls wearing my shirts, but here are photos of my daughter wearing the same shirt back in 2014. It was a lot bigger on her then. I bought 2 of the same exact shirts and made a dress for her in 2014. See the post here. And with the other shirt, decided to make it into a top for her now since I’ve never worn the shirt.
screenshots from my video, this is how it fits her now. She’s grown so much in 3 years! Sniff sniff.

Thank you to those that voted which color of ribbon I should use on my instastory, I thought about matching the red gingham top with red ribbons but I ended up choosing navy blue because I thought the contrast made it stand out more and also gave it a more 4th of July feel. What do you think of my choice? Do you wish I used a red ribbon instead? Let me know in the comments!

I think white ribbon would have looked nice.
I’m a beginner and absolutely love your creativity! I hope one day I can create as easily as you
You are incredible!
Super cute! You are giving such a gift to your girls – being a model of ‘turn what you have into what you want’ and also self-promotion. And ‘i want you to look nice’. all great things!
