Refashionista in Training

Michele Q of "The Family Centered Life" (GMTA!) alerted me to a club called Wardrobe Refashion. I'm so very excited that there is an entire groups of women as nuts as I am when it comes to re-using or recycling clothing. I was ashamed to share this side of me. I thought it might be just 'too strange'. But there is safety in numbers!

I've refashioned all kinds of garments into new garments or home decor items over the years. I am an avid rescuer of buttons, zips and trims as well as single earrings, loose pendants, whatever I can find. I'm starting to look at things in a new way. I think I'm scaring my family, frankly... They don't understand the hard stare at those curtains. They don't know that I'm thinking of turning them into a dress a la Scarlett O'Hara. They don't know (yet) that I expect them to wear the suit made out of sofa slipcovers. Not yet, but they will!

Since it's too late to sign up for this term (meaning I have to wait until the end of September to take the Pledge), I'm in training. I'm flexing my creative muscles and having a go at that bottomeless stash. I may have to dumpster dive for jeans in a few weeks so I've got to get into shape! But wait - I'll have to have a pinch diver since I'm enormously pregnant at the moment... I'll have to subvert one of my children...

Spread the word - the Refashion Revolution has arrived. Oh, and keep and eye on your closet if I come for a visit!
