Well this one is going to be a hit or miss with some people, but I am happy I went with my own style.. It all starts with this dress I got in Virginia.

At least not for me.. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEeqtw_cBmkMwNxBDP4uUmI3H61JgEbNaKtqhJ_YaXIMeKPmE2sYfY7f_Pf1WYk17g__rUwftOUm54pcShJGLJIgq72ptWZwNbrrK-1ubBeZno-_QGkLVpccP68QVkhpi-iiM9t0oNzW0/s640/blogger-image-964179587.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEeqtw_cBmkMwNxBDP4uUmI3H61JgEbNaKtqhJ_YaXIMeKPmE2sYfY7f_Pf1WYk17g__rUwftOUm54pcShJGLJIgq72ptWZwNbrrK-1ubBeZno-_QGkLVpccP68QVkhpi-iiM9t0oNzW0/s640/blogger-image-964179587.jpg"></a>So I cut the length again and took the extra fabric to make the edge have a little flair. I pinned and sewed the edges & then cut up the front and sewed edges to make a short sleeve jacket. I'm feeling it as an open jacket.. And don't make fun of my hair.. I'm trying to curl it by twisting! :) <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhabQnDN9Nu-cy07KX9ewEzKlHt6VCMnrOv5Vijw47W1sfjDxqPCgqmn_fktC6jDFvmop9BR0WvX6u3AxhE2SkIfJ4Sa5wLii1jmWwCtZ4YFiAjz_6-SU_ZBq5iFlblZbBvC_958dArv-A/s640/blogger-image-1525513665.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhabQnDN9Nu-cy07KX9ewEzKlHt6VCMnrOv5Vijw47W1sfjDxqPCgqmn_fktC6jDFvmop9BR0WvX6u3AxhE2SkIfJ4Sa5wLii1jmWwCtZ4YFiAjz_6-SU_ZBq5iFlblZbBvC_958dArv-A/s640/blogger-image-1525513665.jpg"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhabQnDN9Nu-cy07KX9ewEzKlHt6VCMnrOv5Vijw47W1sfjDxqPCgqmn_fktC6jDFvmop9BR0WvX6u3AxhE2SkIfJ4Sa5wLii1jmWwCtZ4YFiAjz_6-SU_ZBq5iFlblZbBvC_958dArv-A/s640/blogger-image-1525513665.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Ml5dD4GiwnkXogP7k5hI1Mn6HxWId_cQ91IHNOsNQ6wz-_nxWMfIQ9CUoiM1IBJtnwbwDvtqFSJEnwbc5IGenYLHHV_wgELIuu5rV4vHtBqtrugpoP4iyQ7Y1Y6GOcxgk03hXzHSaTc/s640/blogger-image-1693778335.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Ml5dD4GiwnkXogP7k5hI1Mn6HxWId_cQ91IHNOsNQ6wz-_nxWMfIQ9CUoiM1IBJtnwbwDvtqFSJEnwbc5IGenYLHHV_wgELIuu5rV4vHtBqtrugpoP4iyQ7Y1Y6GOcxgk03hXzHSaTc/s640/blogger-image-1693778335.jpg"></a></div></div></div></div></div><br></div>Moosey Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04199255438607553751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003599350459683963.post-50498193758444682472015-05-05T09:15:00.001-07:002015-05-05T09:15:20.414-07:00Girls Night!

<br />
Two of my sisters and my best friend took to calling ourselves the new Golden Girls and indulged in a night of Japanese food, fried cheesecake, & shopping! It was a much needed night out!<br />

One, that I really want to live there. The weather is perfect and goodness, it's so quiet and simple. Two, my aunt and I are probably the same person in two bodies. It was like a light bulb went off when I saw her. I realize exactly who I take after. No one can claim that genetics don't play a part in personalities. This was the third time I've seen her in my entire life.... and the fact that we think (and dress) so much alike shows that genetics are awesome! Plus my husband kept asking who he was actually married to! & Three, I really wish I could see these two wonderful people more often!<br />
<br />

We made a day of thrift store shopping and even ventured into a crappy little store where I'm sure death lurked around the corner from the filth.. but we will save my detailed description of that adventure for another post. -- At the local Goodwill, I found two dresses that I just knew I wanted to refashion & starting with the "great white muumuu" as I call it was my first thing to tackle.<br />

<br />
Okay so long over sized muumuu in all it's glory got it's arms chopped off.. (which I"m going to attempt to make some pants for my daughter from.. we will see how that one goes.) And then the length was shortened. I'm just not a maxi dress kind of girl. <br />

After the arms and length were chopped, I started hemming and applied lace from some old curtains that I bought at another thrift store in Virginia. I really admired that thrift store. They were Christian based and all proceeds were donated to a home to help homeless people get on their feet. -- I applied the lace to the bottom by pinning first and then sewing.. and I free-sewed the sleeves. Finally, I got to wear my dress out to girls night with two of my sisters and my best friend! And you can read more about that night & see more of the final look of my dress <a href="http://apassionforrefashion.blogspot.com/2015/05/girls-night.html" target="_blank">here</a>!

But now is where I start showing off my true colors and style! I like weird things.. I like fabrics that really shouldn't go together .. And I like odd things in general. With that being said.. This transformation may seem a little odd to some people, but keep in mind you can do the same basic steps with any type of fabric and design. <div><br></div><div>My sister donated this shirt that was her husbands. I loved the colors, but I wasn't feeling a shirt for myself. So what was I to do? Well, I made a skirt of course! <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhyGs5KmjHMLIL2vAUsi5M4Rk9CLD3GO4-e0kARp1-i0qlIl3ERCIEPG6Fi1pK5QexVD-ttEMeyN8qZ_KcdUifrjBI43SeRmPKYPtgFPKyQpwdDIZI42YdPu2nfeh2Gd6Ehv9QzR7ljus/s640/blogger-image-796779474.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhyGs5KmjHMLIL2vAUsi5M4Rk9CLD3GO4-e0kARp1-i0qlIl3ERCIEPG6Fi1pK5QexVD-ttEMeyN8qZ_KcdUifrjBI43SeRmPKYPtgFPKyQpwdDIZI42YdPu2nfeh2Gd6Ehv9QzR7ljus/s640/blogger-image-796779474.jpg"></a>First I had to cut from the arms & neckline down, but notice the material is horizontal. I am a plus size girl and confident in that fact.. But let's be real.. I don't need any sideways stripes adding definition to my bum. ;) <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHag15n6Ds_K7EVWKMT_gydZXQN9SqMHnvkSaI1twmQPM0RJs0Zu8wpmwND-oux_590khC2u7k78X_U9HqLFlIjkbHkncdxBEXjx4ikMDJzlPFCGt3LmIsz7RkE8I_yk3Dyke_QJqJ7zo/s640/blogger-image--158704185.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHag15n6Ds_K7EVWKMT_gydZXQN9SqMHnvkSaI1twmQPM0RJs0Zu8wpmwND-oux_590khC2u7k78X_U9HqLFlIjkbHkncdxBEXjx4ikMDJzlPFCGt3LmIsz7RkE8I_yk3Dyke_QJqJ7zo/s640/blogger-image--158704185.jpg"></a>So I cut down the middle and placed the fabric together going up and down for a more elongated look. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkigivhfdgQduReBNEzBL93_8f2CJN9Ka9hfe5hBi6JmJsAKWKd1JsrqqOr4krpb0fFJMa713ySHGO2NQOsUmgJH3QBUyc2Kw6YRgwboJaKZQNvyj_xlzGKcwJcJ866Ua3FGS8XpgXceI/s640/blogger-image-787123433.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkigivhfdgQduReBNEzBL93_8f2CJN9Ka9hfe5hBi6JmJsAKWKd1JsrqqOr4krpb0fFJMa713ySHGO2NQOsUmgJH3QBUyc2Kw6YRgwboJaKZQNvyj_xlzGKcwJcJ866Ua3FGS8XpgXceI/s640/blogger-image-787123433.jpg"></a>Yes, it seemed to be coming together. ( one day I may get my own sewing room.. For now I'm using my daughters nursery)...I then added some lace. I told you I loved lace right and that contrasting materials make me smile. Now to see what the skirt looked like on the mannequin...<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicRktU1P7WKR18gwdKXSdVB4oy4hlEBvPER9MD0QuZaqG_rNFuk1_f75ITL4A0yGJYDpX_sluW9oy8SFk0K0qubF_GhBPfRA-w6qQDcwzUddR4IsGCXb4-uLSpLrtdpz2HsjvoJfa0wtA/s640/blogger-image-660278323.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicRktU1P7WKR18gwdKXSdVB4oy4hlEBvPER9MD0QuZaqG_rNFuk1_f75ITL4A0yGJYDpX_sluW9oy8SFk0K0qubF_GhBPfRA-w6qQDcwzUddR4IsGCXb4-uLSpLrtdpz2HsjvoJfa0wtA/s640/blogger-image-660278323.jpg"></a>I roughly pinned the lace on to get an idea of what it would look like all while keeping in mind that my butt ( no matter how far I extend this mannequin) is still going to be larger than this fitting. Big bootie for the win!

After, I sewed the edges and hemmed the top to complete the skirt. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsRWk8mjeecUmIMk3r3_9KW4yTsb351Dwg4Dy9jFt6gHX89AiJqpNfnHsM5jZe6VCEeZT-B8if1yQagOVfYmDaXJ7xpAZ6mk-XPUJwXWtqTo8PYd01Gqw8RudvBPhSp81z6786yb9U8ng/s640/blogger-image-636157160.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsRWk8mjeecUmIMk3r3_9KW4yTsb351Dwg4Dy9jFt6gHX89AiJqpNfnHsM5jZe6VCEeZT-B8if1yQagOVfYmDaXJ7xpAZ6mk-XPUJwXWtqTo8PYd01Gqw8RudvBPhSp81z6786yb9U8ng/s640/blogger-image-636157160.jpg"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsRWk8mjeecUmIMk3r3_9KW4yTsb351Dwg4Dy9jFt6gHX89AiJqpNfnHsM5jZe6VCEeZT-B8if1yQagOVfYmDaXJ7xpAZ6mk-XPUJwXWtqTo8PYd01Gqw8RudvBPhSp81z6786yb9U8ng/s640/blogger-image-636157160.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmPrntVzvdh2DSO6gRV2aivoK6liabRLaAVsUygOrk8OJdK_uVgNdJe9P-JtQlJcJBFFOd5d5qEUpYWKqZbn2jFvBxIrLjICokCWp_rnrFEkIoHfdX0qv0yBOfasqZd9wiUYMQ7ok_8vM/s640/blogger-image-1651705456.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmPrntVzvdh2DSO6gRV2aivoK6liabRLaAVsUygOrk8OJdK_uVgNdJe9P-JtQlJcJBFFOd5d5qEUpYWKqZbn2jFvBxIrLjICokCWp_rnrFEkIoHfdX0qv0yBOfasqZd9wiUYMQ7ok_8vM/s640/blogger-image-1651705456.jpg"></a>Next I just knew I couldn't let the sleeves go to waste.. But what should I do with them?? Of course, give them to my mini me. My daughter is still very young, so maybe she won't hate looking back on a matching outfit with her mother.. Or maybe she will.. I'll feel nostalgic and amused either way. I took the sleeves and cut the full side from both and sewed them together, this time keeping the horizontal look. ( they had to be a little different.) .. Then I folded the extra lace I had and sewed it to the bottom. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC81QKJd1XanEj5tAurgdT3-YVY_tRGq6lMKJoTSeqVzO7q0cZxFjzc23V4UXcSOWtxKv58fufpDM7m68RRbd6bVrhgjgpolrueOUOaaRjfpnn_P4eEro2lVFZLpag1jmcfeErP8jDayI/s640/blogger-image-2086617362.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC81QKJd1XanEj5tAurgdT3-YVY_tRGq6lMKJoTSeqVzO7q0cZxFjzc23V4UXcSOWtxKv58fufpDM7m68RRbd6bVrhgjgpolrueOUOaaRjfpnn_P4eEro2lVFZLpag1jmcfeErP8jDayI/s640/blogger-image-2086617362.jpg"></a>And finally I used the collar of the original shirt to create a headband. I also used the last little bit of sleeve material to make a bow for the band. In the picture she wouldn't keep the headband on so I put her silver sparkly one on. Anyway, enough of my rambling...

Sewed on the vintage piece (crooked & I don't even care) and viola : a cute new shirt. Now I will note that I plan to wear this as a shirt and a skirt.. Which is my reasoning for keeping the box shape, but as a shirt I can use a small clip to cinch the sides a bit for a less boxy look.... I personally love the box look with this jacket... So no side clip needed!!! <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwXKDPEdZMqobFFXHSHaPvbrhfkWddu4YHbawMtifihvU__J1xmI2hKeVviE2eYbkOiGYF3wdq0f2Fwm4hmET_H3TAMFQrYp6pfxLlp5nQXoKNOpiI2TvdQMeJaxtqH0_2eTfjHFSZeRI/s640/blogger-image--1229770037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwXKDPEdZMqobFFXHSHaPvbrhfkWddu4YHbawMtifihvU__J1xmI2hKeVviE2eYbkOiGYF3wdq0f2Fwm4hmET_H3TAMFQrYp6pfxLlp5nQXoKNOpiI2TvdQMeJaxtqH0_2eTfjHFSZeRI/s640/blogger-image--1229770037.jpg"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwXKDPEdZMqobFFXHSHaPvbrhfkWddu4YHbawMtifihvU__J1xmI2hKeVviE2eYbkOiGYF3wdq0f2Fwm4hmET_H3TAMFQrYp6pfxLlp5nQXoKNOpiI2TvdQMeJaxtqH0_2eTfjHFSZeRI/s640/blogger-image--1229770037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG1NiyOtjiLKQOVKhtxJ-n6_rCBL7HYbimPsJihSyG7OYTwxMd-jrHwqg9gyZP-fA2MNyWaA_vdwe0zYFhQ9baqStRt0Zw2LcIqSHDX0IDlW94KLtSZUpKNDWGe93_phEwHaMBRnUjrts/s640/blogger-image--887038365.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG1NiyOtjiLKQOVKhtxJ-n6_rCBL7HYbimPsJihSyG7OYTwxMd-jrHwqg9gyZP-fA2MNyWaA_vdwe0zYFhQ9baqStRt0Zw2LcIqSHDX0IDlW94KLtSZUpKNDWGe93_phEwHaMBRnUjrts/s640/blogger-image--887038365.jpg"></a></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div>Moosey Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04199255438607553751noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003599350459683963.post-66046763641556562912015-01-02T11:26:00.001-08:002015-01-02T17:21:29.921-08:00Week 1 Sweater Remake<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsE_NFqojjpgAFglDZyGWjJRXrLeli4vtzpd_bcyL6UVG4FT8aGVm6G1paocSRcim82gtz2FU7Gv_YxneH0xC25LkfLiOVQo2VENDNIhQ1zpLKRRfFXXm1UoS2pwJtpb5KIR9MqaUOYnk/s640/blogger-image-1077044397.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div>It's a new year and new things are happening for me! I am super excited to take on my own project 52 of making at least one DIY refashion item per week. I would like to make more than one a week if possible, but reality with two kids and a husband means my time is spent smooching on my loves... But I can say I do love taking a few minutes of me time to alter my clothes and thrifty finds into something new and creative!! Hope you enjoy my version of refashioning! Week one starts with my husbands sweater that he no longer wears! [excuse the fingerprints and smudges.. Hello two year old] ... Yes those socks aren't matches, no I do not care!!
