Project Re-Style #6

Welcome to Project Restyle #6.  I can not believe it is week 6 in my Project Re-Style Journey.  If you are just tuning in,  I do a Re-Style Project every Monday.  All the details are going to be at the end of this Post.  

 So here we Go.  

I found this tank top  hidden away, deep in the bottom of my drawer.  This was a perfect Re-Style Project for this week because it is PINK,  just in time for Valentine's Day.  My good Friend E was so sweet and  gifted me the shirt for the ruffles.  I was going to make another 5 minute scarf out of the shirt she gifted me, but when I saw that the shirt and tank  were the same color I thought no, I am making a ruffled tank.   Now, I am not going to lie, this was a little harder than cutting the sleeves out of a sweater, and  I am no 

sewing expert by any means.  This was a Litttttle more challenging than the other projects, but I love a challenge.

The tutorial is below.

Tutorial

I took my gifted shirt and cut it into strips.

 Then I folded them in half and hand stitched it to make the ruffles.

I made about 4 strips of ruffles.

I placed the tank on a flat surface and placed the ruffles on it in different patterns,  once  I found the pattern that I liked I pined it

Then I opened up the ruffle and sewed them to the tank with my sewing machine.

It took me about an hour to sew all the ruffles on.

And That is it.

Now, I just have to style it with something, mmmmmmmm

Project Re-Style #5

It is hard to believe it is week number 5, in the Project Re-Style challenge. I am having so much fun taking my old things and making them new again. How can you not like something for free? All the details at the end of the Post.  

Just click on the picture.

This week  I had my eye on a different project, but when I found that black belt for my Black Leather Belt  Bracelets.  I came across a White Denim Jacket, (maybe 8 or 9 years old), that I thought this would look great restyled in to  something for Spring.  I really love the way this turned out. The flowers are all different pins I made.  I just had to try to make some of the lovely flowers that are out there.  The best thing about this is  if you want to change up the look you can just take the flowers off.  Easy!   I am still debating if I should take off the bottom of the jacket and make it a cropped Denim Jacket, although the longer style looks good with my body type. We will just have to sit with this for a couple of days and see.

Tutorial

 Just carefully cut off the sleeves. No sewing required.

All the Different Flowers I used. 
Tutorials coming later.

 Wow! Ten minutes for a new Jacket,
