Can't Say Strawberry

So due to unforseen computer problems, I haven’t really been diligently updating on my Refashioning pledge as much as I should have, shame on me. So I thought I’d do a little compilation post, mostly made from photos of the past few weeks, to show you guys how my wardrobe is slowly becoming more ‘Me-Made’…

This is a blouse made from the Madison pattern on Burdastyle – ok, so it wasn’t meant to be a blouse, but I didn’t have enough fabric for the whole thing… planned on buying more, but there was none, so, blouse it became! I just have to make sure I wear it with really really high waisted skirts…

Bought this blazer on Etsy, from vintAGELESSbeauty… except it looked more like this :

The sleeves made me look entirely too Pat Butcher for my liking, so chop chop, snip snip, some black bias tape et voila!

Can’t really see this one too well, but it’s the dress from BurdaStyle! Whipped it up using my serger before coming back after Christmas, only just got around to hemming it. Had a fair few issues with the jersey, and I think I cut the  top out in too big a size, but it’s wearable!

Cute pleated skirt that I made which I wear a fair bit nowadays… Has to be paired with a waistbelt though because the waistband is done really badly, especially where the top of the zipper is concerned.

You really can’t see this one that well, but it’s a maroon skirt I got from a second hand shop, shortened and paired with some vintage shoes and a belt for my flat party back in March!

So there’s my little medley post! They’re mostly projects I’ve finished but haven’t felt were really good enough to deserve their own posts or addition to BurdaStyle. Got a few things on the go at the moment, so I hope there’ll be something decent to post soon enough!
