I can’t believe we are already halfway through June! I’ve been working on several projects, but some haven’t been going according to plan and I needed a simple project to cleanse my sewing palette. I found this skirt on Poshmark two or three weeks ago. I was just buying a top but before checking out… Continue reading Simple Skirt Alteration: Front Button Up Skirt Refashion
I posted this upcycle a few week ago on Instagram but wanted to share the behind the scenes details here on the blog! It had been well over a year since I had been “in person” thrifting, so when 2nd Ave Thrift Store reached out about collaborating on a project, I was all for it!… Continue reading Nightgown to Pajama Set Refashion with 2nd Ave Thrift Store

I fell in love with… Continue reading Shirt Dress to Peplum Top Refashion
I’ve been re-assessing my wardrobe, and filling in with a lot more thrifted pieces than handmade! I haven’t been spending so much time on making clothing, and over the past few months I’ve spend a lot of time away from my studio to enjoy Drew being home. But since I’m home I’ve been trying to… Continue reading Dress to Skirt Refashion – Rosari Skirt
I haven’t been thrifting since February, and while NJ is starting to open back up, I probably won’t be comfortable going to a thrift store for a while. Thankfully when I went thrifting pre-Covid, I always picked up all sorts of pieces, for all seasons so I still have a good stash to work through!… Continue reading Jeans to Lander Shorts Refashion
At the beginning of this year, my parent’s were downsizing and in the process, donated their dining room set – including hutch, table and chairs. With this went all my mom’s tablecloth linens – which she set aside for me to go through! They had a small square table, and I have a long table… Continue reading #RefashionFriday Tablecloth to Dress Upcycle

If you follow me over on instagram, you will have already seen this refashion – but I wanted to share a few details here about it! I picked this dress up at… Continue reading #RefashionFriday Colorful Stripe Dress to Shorts Refashion

I hope these refashions & posts have distracted/inspired you in these times! Today I’m sharing another simple refashion with a… Continue reading Fashion Revolution Week: Low Waste Alternatives & Skirt to Top Refashion
Today’s fashion topic is one that I love, but one that has a lot of work to do to become more sustainable. Activewear. My personal sustainable journey with activewear: I started running in college, and have since completed several half marathons and full marathons, with smaller races sprinkled in. I also love cycling and other… Continue reading Fashion Revolution Week: Sustainable Activewear & Leggings to Sports Bra Refashion
