Welcome to my quest to refashion my wardrobe! My fourth Spring Sweater Refashion started off as a plain, green sweater from Target. It hung in my closet without much wear because it was so plain and I wasn’t sure what to wear with it. I decided to add some embellishments to one side of it, using some of my fabric scraps from my craft room. This is a 1.5 hour project, just because making … [Read more...]

Here's a little project I made the other night. Do you have any Charlotte Russe stores near you? I was in ours and found some great, really basic tees for $4. I really liked the neckline and weight of the fabric. I brought them home and I had this picture of a Anthropologie "Tutu" shirt that I had printed off awhile ago to see if I could recreate.

I needed a sturdy, easy-access bag for my trip. But I also wanted it to be different and cute. So I decided to make one! I took a tote I bought at Walmart a few months ago on clearance.

![flower+shirt+on+the+table[1]](http://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/flower+shirt+on+the+table1-250x208.jpg)
This is easily my favorite and easiest t-shirt refashion that I have tried so far. All it requires is a needle and thread - no machine! I started with two clearance t-shirts from Forever 21 {$2/ea.}. I used the second t-shirt to make the flowers. But you can use leftover fabric for the flowers and then you only need one shirt. I made a sketch of what I wanted the t-shirt to look … [Read more...]

I am always on the lookout for stylish, cute t-shirts for the Summer. One of my favorite stores -- Anthropologie, recently had a great t-shirt they were selling. But for almost $80 I wondered if I could find a way to make something similar for a fraction of the cost. I bought two t-shirts on clearance for $2 each. I bought one for the t-shirt and one to cut up for embellishments. Materials … [Read more...]
Sweatshirt Refashion: Project #2
This is a project that has been on my list for a few months. In September Nordstrom sent out their Fall Preview Catalog and I saw this jacket. Kind of whimsical and different. Perfect for a clothing refashion. I finally got around to making it this week. This is what I did: I took this boxy sweatshirt. Cut a line down the center. I took out a center section of the front to make it a little … [Read more...]
