Recycled Second-hand - Friday 1st May 2015

Picture
I purchase clothing from the second-hand shop, then completely take them apart. Iron the fabric out and utilize it into another garment. I purchased a flared skirt with buttons down the front, picked it all to pieces so that I had the two front panels, back panel and belt. Ironed out what I had. Decided on a garment keeping the button holes but laying the pattern in such a way that I was utilizing the button holes and buttons, making the belt as a collar. I now have a summer coat, rather elegant I must say, from a Katies flared skirt which went out of fashion and was in the second-hand shop for $5. Yes, I picked it up for $5 and made a lovely summer coat. I have a drawer full of second-hand clothing that I have unpicked and will now start to make them into fashionable garments.
