I just signed up for the Wardrobe Refashion. I have held its base intention in my heart since the first time that I heard about it a year or two ago. I didn't officially join in at that point, but here I am now really making the commitment. I have so much fabric and so many pieces of clothing! In addition, I also have very little interest in participation in the greater fashion machine. I know what I like and I have all the skills to make those items for myself.
I truly begin today by having replaced the jeans on the rack (even though they were on sale and were the first skinny jeans that have looked at all good on me) and returning home to finish off a dress that had been languishing unfinished.
Pattern: Mccalls M5893
Very good pattern, just don't ignore the fact that it calls for stretch knits (only necessary in the bodice).
Fabric Story: Skirt is Amy Butler purchased at 50% off; green with brown polka dots that has been used as an accent once before; the bodice is cut from a tshirt (michaels XXL adult for $2.50 on sale; will continue to count that as a fabric purchase). Remaking the bodice was the step that caused this to languish; I hate backward motion. It took about an hour (to make it the first time ignoring the need for stretch and the second time to integrate the fix) and all was well.
