Black Dress
Pattern: Butterick B4389
I made this dress for my sister's wedding with some much needed help from my clever mumma. The fabric is Silk Dupion which is perfect to fancy up a simple dress. I made a belt from 40mm black ribbon that was pinned on with a brooch made from the same flowers that were on my sister's wedding dress.

Refashion: Jumper to Jumper
Refashioned: A man's 100% new wool jumper
Into: A jumper for me
To refashion this jumper, I chopped off the arms, cut across the top just underneath the V collar, took it in at the sides, overlocked around the neckline, took in the sleeves and reattached them. I wanted it to be a bit longer and the sleeves were too short, so I cut up a woollen skirt I had also bought at the Op Shop and added about 12cm to the body length and sleeves. Then I sewed random reverse darts on the front, back and sleeves.

Refashion: Jumper to Vest
Refashion: A man's woollen jumper
Into: A vest for me
Inspired by: Gina and Mim
Another woollen jumper from the Op Shop, this time successfully made into something for me. The jumper was dyed using Ebony Black but turned out deep green. I started the refashion with a cut up the front then took the side seams in a little to give it some shape. The collar was then cut down to about half its original size and part of it was used for the front piece with the brooch. The rest of the collar and the sleeves were sewn on the bottom of the vest to give it extra length.
