My twilly
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

@Aukje van Pelt Hmm, the last question should have asked for your age range! Did it end before you were asked that?

Zara Dress and my gold jacket
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…
