Wardrobe ReFashion: Hello Internets!

Roleplaying costume for a five year old

I just wanted to introduce myself and show a few refashions I've done in the last month. My name is Rachel. I live in Southeast Virginia with my husband and my dog. We're in the process of moving into a townhouse a few miles down the road, but I'm still stressin' like we're leaving for space or something :) During the day I work as a graphic artist for a classifieds company, while moonlighting as a wannabe seamstress. My style definitely has a vintage flare and I'm nothing if not girly.

About a month ago I found an old vintage sheet at the thrift store, this is what I came up with:

I used a simplicity pattern and little vintage belt buckle I purchased from Etsy. I transferred the border on the sheet to the hem of the dress as well.

Check out more on my blog!

I'm so glad to finally be a part of wardrobe refashion, and I can't wait to post more! Now back to my packing!

Wardrobe Refashion is a community which has had an online presence since early 2006. Based in Melbourne, Australia, owner Nichola Prested started up the site after deciding to quit buying new manufactured clothing in a bid to do her part for the planet, save money and improve her sewing skills. Participants of the blog pledge to abstain from the purchase of new manufactured clothing for the period of 2, 4, 6 months or LIFE. They pledge to refashion, renovate, and recycle preloved items with their own hands in fabric, yarn or other medium or make their own from scratch. Those who fall off the wagon must confess on the blog by displaying a ‘Get out of Refashionista Jail FREE’ card.
