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!

DIY WOMEN’S SUIT TO DRESS REFASHION || How to Refashion Clothes

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?
