Hello everyone, it’s been great catching up on what everyone has been making. I’ve been spending some time on mine over the weekend and am posting a video to show the before and after. As usual when it comes to sewing I have gone off on one and ended up making it more complicated than it needs to be 😂 but I’m pleased with the result. Just on the look out for a couple of little Pom Pom’s now 👀

This silver scarf used to be a dress I bought in the Zara sales… I had always wanted to convert it into a scarf similar to something I had seen in YSL but priced much much higher. The fabric was very slippery so I used tissue paper to try and stop it from moving too much. Now the Gold jacket was something I had made in a tailoring class. I had some left over fabric so I made a tie with it. Could be worn as a belt, hair accessory or a tie…

Hi everyone, so here's my first attempt at a twilly and my first refashion. I started with an old dress I had been gifted to refashion back when I started sewing in 2010 but I never attempted as 1) I had just given birth so I was nowhere near my final post-baby body 2) I hadn't been sewing for long so found it easier to dabble with fabric rather than feel like I was going to "ruin" a garment by chopping it up. Thanks to the twilly videos and my newer 40+ attitude of it's just sitting in a "stash" so it's no good to me there I finally tackled it. I removed the whole skirt and took two panels out as the volume of gathers really felt unflattering on my hips. I cut two strips from one skirt panel to make this twilly and still have another panel I think I'll make a wider headband with as well as the bodice to refashion. I think I'll adjust the neckline of that to make it more my style then I can wear them as separates as well as together as a faux-dress. Sorry about the lighting - typical, it's just become very gloomy here in south east England and we've had our first snow of the autumn/winter this afternoon. Wendy x
