I’ve just applied to enter the first ever “Refashion Runway” hosted by Beth at ChicEnvelopments. It will be run in a manner similar to Project Runway and The Great Sewing Bee, where six chosen competitors will submit refashions each week. These will be judged by readers like you and one person will then be outed from the competition, culminating in the crowning of the first ever Refashion Runway champion. Continue reading
Skirt Refashion
This refashion was more like a total rebuild. After thinking I could just alter the hem, I still wasn’t happy and I eventually unpicked all the seams and made a whole new skirt from the pieces.
Learning to Love Autumn
I’m learning to appreciate Autumn for all its’ beauty, rather than my default tendency to despise it for chasing away summer. Continue reading
Berry Smoothie
I originally tried this after being inspired by a post on Striking Keys about Green Smoothies. I wanted to get more iron into me and, thankfully, a daily blend gives me enough that I can skip any supplements. Yay! Continue reading
No Sew Tutu
The internet is swimming with tutorials for No Sew Tutu’s exactly like this one. Maybe it’s because they are just so ridiculously easy, fast and fun to make.
What? You haven’t seen it 23 times elsewhere yet? Fantastic! Because I’ve also written a tutorial here just for you. Continue reading
Blog Refashion
Offsquare has had a refashion of its’ own! What do you think?
Angela at Striking Keys and I have arranged a skill swap and I must say, I’m quite a fan of this concept! She has given my blog a much needed update and she will, in return, get a snuggly rhino made for her soon-to-arrive little one.
I was so excited to hear that Angela was interested in working with me on this. I’ve been a fan of her blog for a long time time and her bullet point posts always make me giggle. She often has a good story or experience to share and through her book reviews, also introduced me to the writing prowess of Laini Taylor. I’m not usually a fantasy fan, but Laini is really something else.
Thanks Angela for your hard work! Hoping Rhino becomes a much loved family member in due course 
Rain Coat Refashion
It’s been raining here lately. A lot.
Fortunately, our house has remained flood free and Poppet loved watching the lightening flashes with us. Little Guy just tolerated it.
The torrents of water served to get me motivated though. After getting drenched through while doing groceries, I was inspired to attempt this jacket refashion. Again.
