*Renew * Rebuild * Revamp* Redo*

With a few thrift store treasures and some basic sewing skills, you can create original one of a kind additions to your wardrobe, unique gifts, beautiful handbags, adorable hats or anything else that tickles your fancy.
I love hitting up my local thrift stores looking for treasures. They are fun to explore and often help spawn new ideas and inspiration for projects. Reusing once loved goods is one more way to help our planet stay clean. When thrifting always make sure to bring along a friend, the more eyes the merrier!

Camo makeover


This skirt was made from an old pair of camo shorts that were free to me and didn't fit in the waist at all!! I cut off the top waistband of the shorts and added a new waist from an old black t-shirt. Once you remove the crotch seam you have a skirt! I left the slit open on the front and back to give more leg room but you can close the seams if you wish. Adding the knit waistband allows for more ease and gives the skirt more room to easily slide on.
