Today I started with is soft and comfy cotton dress. I picked this one up because of its funky pattern.
This is more of a winter dress but I really hated the look of the sleeves plus the elastic at the cuff was all stretched out.
Pinned my new sleeve hem.
Took 3 inches off the bottom and hemmed it.
Next, at the waist the elastic was too big. So I picked open a hole and pulled the elastic tight and sewed it together.
I went way out and changed the black buttons to bright red ones and I even used red thread for the hems.
I didn’t do too much exciting with my new dress, just lazed about the house all day. I liked the look of a belt with this dress but perhaps not this red belt, I think it miht be too dressy for this one.
Happy Refashioning!!!

Hi there! Welcome to my little blog! My name is Marisa, phonetically that’s Marie-sa! My goal is to change the way you look at outdated clothes by making you think outside the stitch!
I am a dental hygienist by trade but that leaves me longing to show my creative side and having something more fashionable to wear than scrubs!
I have always been interested in fashion and for years I have been dabbling in creating my own clothes. Now is the time to seriously get into refashioning and encourage you to do the same!
I hope this little blog of mine inspires you not to pass up those oversized unsightly pieces of clothing but to transform them into something beautiful!
Happy Refashioning!
