Great Artical for that Summer Closet Clean Out!

The following link is from the blog real girl glam and it contains really great tips on how to make cleaning out your closet an achievable task for this summer.  She includes what piles you will need to sort through and what to keep and get rid of.  I definitely have some issues letting go of my clothes and SHOES!  Not going to lie, I may be of hoarder status because I still have items I wore in high school and probably haven't touched since then.

Here is a picture of my current closet.... I certainly need to get to work!




Hopefully, with glam girl's help, I will be able to show you an after picture soon.

Round 2

It has been a couple of days since I have refashioned anything because this one took longer than I thought.  Maybe because I went to the pool and grilled out with friends, but it is summer and sometimes sunshine takes first priority.

This is a dress I got at Care and Share for $1.00 and everyone I showed thought it was so ugly, but I personally liked the floral print.

The first thing I did was cut out the shoulder pads.  The bold shoulder look is not cool these days, so of course they had to go.



Then I separated the bodice from the skirt because this dress had a long waist and I didn't much care for that.  Then I shortened the waist by cutting off a few inches and then sewing it back together.  This step took me the longest because the fabric was thin and slippery under the sewing machine.  Needless to say I became good friends with the seam ripper : (



But in the end I think it came out nice.  I made the dress sleeveless and lowered the neckline because I felt like it was choking me!  Then I made the hemline a high low cut (aka mullet skirt) because those are huge this season.  The arm holes turned out huge because of the loose fitting sleeves, but I can wear a ban-due top with it to cover up the unmentionables. 

Like Mother Like Daughter

This is a project my mom made for Christmas gifts. I told her she should sell them but it's more about fun for her.  She used recycled pop cans and crushed and painted them to look like razorbacks.  We sure do love the Hogs around here!

 I learned everything I know about fashion and clothing from my mom. So more than likely I will include some of her creations as well.  She's so cute!

First Try

Above is a night gown I purchased from the local Care and Share for $1.50.  The hem was about to come out, and my mother said I should keep it to wear for pajamas, but I had other visions in mind.

After a couple of hours cutting and pinning, I finally had a new shirt.  I even used the part I cut off for the sash.  Now that's what I call a no waste refashion!  I'm definitely going to wear this shirt to a Razorback Tailgate. : )
