I also made this dress I never wore into a skirt I might sometimes wear. And from a loosely fitting skirt to a snugly fitting wrap skirt, too!
The hem is asymmetrical, voluminous and has square handkerchief edges and weird bits that give it lots of movement.
Here, a clip it's too dark to see much of!

#Sewing #Refashioning

Anyone know of places in the fediverse where people doing refashioning hang out?

I realized I have quite a few pieces of clothing that fit me from ye olden times when quality was better, but they also kind of scream early 00s (and not in the cool y2k revival way).

Looking to get some inspiration to update some beloved items and meet cool folks 🥰

@Natalie

Love this #reuse slash #refashioning project!

@kunterbuntesneukoelln

Schwerpunkt Textilien und Pappe:

Kleidung und Accessoires aus Kleidung oder anderen Textilien.
Allerlei Beutel + Taschen. Alte Jeans ohne Lycra sind dafür super.

Stoffkörbe, Korb- + Pappkartonüberzüge aus Textilien.

Waschlappen aus Handtüchern.

Putztücher aus Handtüchern oder T-Shirts, die zu zerfetzt fürs #refashioning sind.

Kleinere Kartons + Schachteln als Schubladenorganisatoren.

Kisten + Schachteln mit neuen oder gebrauchten Geschenkpapierresten bekleben.

Okay, let's do this:

If you love #sewing but find it challenging to fit it into your busy life, join me in my attempt to sew a minimum of 30 minutes a day:

Let's encourage each other and celebrate progress.

CU 😄 !

Anyone up to some sort of "30 minutes a day" sew-along?

Could be anything #sewing related:

I can't carve out large chunks of time for sewing but hope to sneak in 30 min/day.

Very late to this but that's a fantastic #refashioning project!

@sewing the hemline is officially extended! 🎉

Still lots of finishing to be done, plus alterations to the armholes / sleeves and neckline. But it’s looking great, and the project is moving forward!

Check the thread if you’re confused what this project is about 😁 #sewing #repurposing #refashioning #textileartist

@sewing the hem extension cutting and sewing process is going well so far! A few adjustments to make on the curve around center front, but nothing complicated 😮‍💨

Refashioning fast fashion! Why?
1. I own it since 2013 (when 3.1 Phillip Lim x Target collection was released.)
2. I LOVE the cut. Haven’t seen anything else that fit me this great, especially around the shoulders.
3. I’m skilled enough to make the alterations I want.

For now, I’m marking the changes and pinning the added pieces with temporary fabrics.
No way I’m letting this one go to landfill; it’s going to be fantastic!
