Wardrobe Refashion
It's a blog community where you sign up and pledge not to buy new manufactured clothes and instead sew your own or alter clothes from thrift stores. I'm excited about it but also a little nervous. I hope that I can keep it up because I think it's a really neat idea and I want to develop my sewing skills. I have been sewing more. Right now I'm working on a dress right now and I'm using an old sheet for the fabric.
I just bought this book and it's really great. I'm using the drindl pattern for my dress. I would especially recommend this book for people who are new to sewing because it's got a lot of really great info.
I have the fabric for the skirt cut out and ready to go and I cut the bodice but unfortunately I have to alter the pattern because it's for a shorter person and the darts are not where they should be and it was too short. Hopefully I have enough fabric to cut a new one or else this might just be a skirt.
I have also been altering some of my pants. I had a few pants that were too wide in the legs so I sewed them into skinnyish pants and it was easy and I love the pants now so I plan to do this more. I will take some pictures of the ones I just finished and post it soon.
