Wardrobe Refashion - 4 month pledge

I , Nicole, pledge that I shall abstain from the purchase of "new" manufactured items of clothing, for the period of 4 months. I pledge that i shall refashion, renovate, recycle preloved items for myself with my own hands in fabric, yarn or other medium for the term of my contract. I pledge that I will share the love and post a photo of my refashioned, renovoated, recylcled, crafted or created item of clothing on the Wardrobe Refashion blog, so that others may share the joy that thy thriftyness brings! Signed, Nicole.

First official refashions.

Parachute Tank with Ribbons (tie at the shoulders to whatever length you desire).


Tube Top with ties in back, parachutes in front.

Pillowcase Tube Dress with empire waist (courtesy of ribbon) and screened parachutes.

Screenprinting goodness Part Deux

Well our screenprinting night o' fun was last night. and we screened to our heart's content. Here are some of the "finished" products (in quotations because I still plan on refashioning from them).





The pillowcases will become either sundresses or part of a patchwork totebag. The t-shirts: underwear as the link I posted earlier suggests.

I'll post pics when I have the final creations assembled.

Exciting event ahead which will hopefully get my butt into refashioning gear: Love Those Clothes You Wear , a SNAP fundraiser. Artists submitting wearables get 50% of the profits. Next tuesday me and some ladies are heading to SNAP to print some of our designs onto clothing (or fabric to become clothing). I will post pics of the results.

Another use for t-shirts

I recently purchased a book on how to make tshirts into various clothing items.. and now I am adding to the list of modified shirts, skirts and accessories: T-Shirt Underwear. By the way, if anyone wants to donate tshirts to the cause, please contact me!

A Link! A Glorious Link!

This pretty much embodies my DIY spirit: Wardrobe Refashion Will officially join after tonight... when I head to the consumer mecca of *gasp* West Edmonton Mall. Don't hate me. I need to see an H&M before I die.
