Refashion: Mommy's blouse into strappy dress

Finally, all goodie bags order are done, now I can sew for leisure.

I don't like wearing blouse. At all. But there were times when I had to endure the torture of wearing them for work. When I resigned, I still keep some of my blouses, not to wear, but I know that I would want to do something with the fabric.

So last night, I turn one white blouse into a strappy dress for my little one. I didn't do much on this refashion, but I managed to make a matching hat for the dress.

Before: an ugly white blouse

After: flirty flowery dress

Refashion: Old tattered legging into a flirty skirt

Felly needs some new wardrobes coz she has outgrown most of her clothes. So I bought some items that I can't make myself and decided to sew the rest myself. Thanks to many of refashion posts that I found during my blogwalking, I was so inspired to turn old clothes into something new and wearable. So this morning, I took my old legging and butchered it with my scissors, 45 minutes later it turned into this cute flirty skirt for Felly.

I not very good at explaining things, so instead of doing a tutorial, I'll just show the before (with the cuts that I made) and after photo

 BEFORE. Old and tattered legging.

AFTER. Cute flirty skirt

And here's Lil' Miss Fey, donning her new skirt with tank and faux pearl necklace

 

Somehow, all of our photo sessions are always ended up with her trying to grab the camera saying 'Mama, I want to take photo too!'

High heels Sandals REVAMP

I need a glamorous high heels sandals for my bro's wedding (which is tomorrow), but money has been very tight for me, therefore no budget to spend on sandals and thankfully, I've been hooked with lots of re-purpose / re-fashion ideas that I found in the blog land. So, I racked my brain to make a good use of the high heels sandals that I already have.

For the first attempt, I decided to revamp this one:

By using a pair of diamante broches which I bought for Rp. 30.000 per pair (it's about US$ 3)

I pinned each brooch on the knot of the sandals and TAADDDAAAA..!!! Instant glamour.

 This is so easy and simple, such a no-brainer so I won't even call this post a tutorial. So if you have a plain sandals or shoes that has been catching dust, let's take them out and re-fashion!

Tissue Cover

If you have a little kid, especially one that loovvveeesss ice cream so much, like mine, a pack of tissue is a must in your bag..I always carry a travel size tissue pack in mine and I hate it when the tissue is crumpled, crushed and messed up my bag, then the tissue gets dirty.....

Actually I've been wanted to make this tissue cover for a while but I was too lazy to start..until yesterday.
I made this from felt, decorated it with some ribbon and ice cream felt. Usually I handstitched all my felt work, but I was in a hurry, so I use my sewing machine instead. Now, my bag looks neat and mess-free from crumpled tissues.
