WHICH ITEM SHOULD I REFASHION NEXT?

~ SEWING, YOUTUBE VIDEOS

 

 

 

 

Help me choose which one I should refashion next! This is episode #5 of Refashion Vision, where I take you thrift shopping with me and I brainstorm right then and there how I’d refashion each clothing item.

This one was hard for me guys! It usually takes me 5-15 seconds before images and ideas pop into my mind but maybe because I took a 6 month break, I was rusty! But I was able to come up with cute ideas for all of the options at the end, whew!

Help me choose which item to refashion next by voting in the comments! The # with the most votes will be the one I’ll tackle next!

 

 

#UPDATE: #3 won, thank you for voting! To see what I transformed the XL pink men’s shirt into, click here to see it!

MY NEW TRAILER

This is my new trailer I made for my YouTube channel! What do you think?

I have not had much motivation to sew lately, partly due to mourning and partly due to just being busy with the kids starting school and all their extra curricular activities.

I hope to get back in sewing sooner than later!

Watch my tutorial below to see how I changed this women’s size 6 pant suit into a dress appropriate for work! I cannot take credit for this refashion idea for it is the talented Miriam’s Instagram page @sewingpolarbear that I saw it and fell in love with it. I’ve made shorts/pants into skirts before but to think of using the bottom of the leg trousers to make a top piece! Genius! So thank you Miriam for your creativity! Everyone go check out her Instagram for her other amazing sewing DIY’s!

 

 

 

 

 

I barely used the jacket, I only took out the buttons and the wrist-ties so I have a whole jacket left that I didn’t cut up! I will be thinking of something to refashion it into, but do you have any ideas what I could make it into?
