Refashion Your Closet - T-shirt/Tank Remake and Refashion

Fall is in the air. But we will always carry summer in our hearts and with our fashion.  As we mentioned in our last post, we wanted to share with you all the fun ways of fashion as crafters and artists. Our first adventure began with the fun and beautiful ways to re-make and re-fashion tees and tanks. Listed below are some amazing fashionistas who created awesome tutorials. Please feel free to read, explore, and challenge yourself. This is an all season fashion creation. When it gets chilly and you can feel the Fall breeze coming, a simple cardigan can go over these beautiful pieces.

• Tea Rose Home: Four Shirts Four Ways
• Busily Spinning Momma: Ruffles & Buttons. Anthro Inspired
• Ruffles and Stuff: Loft Inspired Ruffle Tank
• Tatertots and Jello: Fabulous Anthro Inspired Ruffle Shirt

So dig through your closet or think twice before you toss something out, because it can really become something new and beautiful. T-shirt remakes and refashion have become a great way to stay green - reduce, reuse, and recycle!

Here is our tank top refashion. We took a plain tank top and dressed it up with lace and ribbons...and look what we created.

An Old Navy tank top for $4.99, recycled lace - which we ruffled and layered to create the tier look and took some left over ribbon and made flowers - centering the flower with tulle and pearls.

There are so many options and great ideas. We would love to see yours or hear of it! So please feel free to share and post. Happy crafting!

What a beautiful August?! We have definitely missed the fashion whirl but definitely did not lose our fashion-esteem. Glad to be back to share all of our creations, tips and ideas, and our amazing fashion adventures.

Summer has been wonderful. We did take a few weeks off to breathe, relax, think, and spend time with the family. Within the time we have done a great share of fashion-ventures with beautiful pieces of clothing, shoes, and accessories – some we’ve created and some right of our closet! We can’t wait to share and post them for all your viewing and reading needs.

Through this economic hardship, many feel they have to limit their fashion necessities. In our world, you don’t. Our summer fashion-venture is to introduce you to many wonderful ways to create something new out of something old, to re-style, and for you to realize that what you want may already be in your closet…and what you need is not far out of reach. We’ll share some of our creative ideas as well as the many creative ideas of others.

We’ll start of by sharing this amazing read – an article we found in the Star Tribune Newspaper. It gives great tips and ideas on “How To Be Your Own Stylist”
