Another men's shirt refashion !!!   Add a hood and a concert tshirt and you  got yourself a GREAT hoodie to rock on one of your casual days !! Comfy and trendy all in one ;)

This project is an easy way to decorate your home and do double duty with giving your home that wonderful potpourri scent.   This also makes a GREAT gift :)


Men's shirt and Marilyn Monroe.....can't get much better than that !!!  Loved making this really easy refashion !!! One of my favorites ;)

I figured out the key to wearing layers without the added bulk and fabric that makes us feel bigger than we are.   I removed the sleeves of a shirt and the bottom hemline and sewed them right into the sweater to look layered.....but yet no layering was done.  Tricky Tricky :)  but so easy !

Love this duster jacket !!!   Can you believe it was once a ruffled skirt and a linen shirt ?   Combined the two together to get this unique duster jacket .   :)

I needed a use for some of my smaller fabric scraps......and wha la ....headbands .   This is a GREAT mother daughter project !!!

Two artistic / beautiful scarves transformed into a kimono !!  Wasn't sure when I'd wear these scarves and they looked like pieces of art, so this was the best way to get use out of them and be fashionable !!!

Adding lace to the bottom of a slip gives such a cute look to help us girls out when our skirts may be a little too short.   Gives any look a more romantic feel :)


Hawaiian skirt needed a new look !!  I cut this thing up and make it into a halter top with just a few steps.   Great for broomstick skirts too ! :)


Thrifted this dress and its a few sizes too big !! But I loved the fabric, so its refashion time :)   I size it down and make it a sleeveless little number that I love to wear .

I had a denim jacket that just looked "out of date" and needed up a little pick me up.....so I turned it into a cute vest with new buttons !!  Very little work needed to do this refashion :)


 Need a hip bag to carry your keys or phone while shopping a flea market or just going for a walk?  This was so easy and I just used an old pair of jeans that were laying around.  

Doing a little combining again.....2 shirts combined to make a sundress !!! This type of project is great for those neglected tshirts in you closet :)


Needed to spice up my jean collection.  All my jeans were looking the same, so I decided to patch one up .....give it a little "attitude" .   LOVE THEM :)

This tutorial is one of my highest ranking projects that I've posted on my youtube channel.   My subscribers are making these as gifts for all their friends and family.   I actually have one subscriber that has now made 55 of them for gifts.  Wow....they are really popular items :)


Another booze break....LOL.   This is an easy frozen treat that you can make when you're having a BBQ and need a little "cooling off "  .  

I had a couple old men's shirts laying around and needed to put them to use.  I combined them together to make a long sleep shirt or you could actually wear it as a dress .....multi tasking :)

Took an old thrifted blanket and turned it into a warm cozy vest....you won't believe how easy this was :)  

Want a neat and tidy way to keep you boots standing up at attention in your closet.  I have a way to use up scrap fabric and grocery bags !!!  I know you could do this with rolled up magazines, water noodles, or news papers.....but this way looks so much better :)
Towel robes !!!  One of my most requested gift items .   So easy and yet everyone's favorite !!  You can make them too.....it "sew" easy  :)

Refashion BREAK .....time for a drink :)  Thought I'd surprise you all with a little frosty alcoholic treat to bright up a hot summer day ....yummy !!!
Got a skirt ? and need an apron ?  Well, I have the solution for you :)   I took a skirt that I loved the fabric of and turned it into this adorable apron.   Love to wear this while out by the BBQ !!
See how I refashion this multi textured maxi skirt into a cute denim skirt !! Yes, you got it.... I combined a pair of denim jeans with this maxi skirt to get a really cute / country looking new skirt !  So cute ;)
Prom dress to cocktail skirt !!!  This is one of my favorites !!  I love anything lace, so when I saw this ugly prom dress at the thrift store I knew just what to do .......lace skirt here we go !!
Combine a couple tshirt together for a color block look and give it a little attitude by sewing on a skull cut out appliqué .   So many different things could be refashioned using this idea ....hmmmm ....the wheels are turning and more ideas are coming :)
This was a quick refashion that I did for an audition to the You Generations contest.  I refashioned a skirt and combined it with a shirt to make a cute new shirt :)  The project had to have a candy theme...so I actually made a candy inspired purse to go with.
Can you believe this was an ugly thrifted skirt ?   Yes, I refashioned a skirt into a shirt ....now just wish the fabric wasn't so see through.....OOOPS !
Thrift shop frumpy dress into a cute little number that I can't wait to wear to church or any get together.  Shorten the hem, change the neckline and alter the sleeves and a new dress is ready !!
This cute little jewelry / cosmetic / nail polish holder is so easy and a great gift to give to any girl on your shopping list.   This project only cost $2 !!!  Gotta love it ;)
Create a jewelry box from an old cigar box.   I show you how to make secure ring holders and decorate the outside so no one would guess that it was a free cigar box to start with .
