Celebrating Earth Day - Refashion & Repurpose Ideas

I missed it completely yesterday. Earth Day.

Although I had a t- shirt in the process of refashioning and planned to be posted specifically, however it is not yet done so to mark the day - I compiled several projects I've done over the years of how to refashion and repurpose things. I hope you like the selection.

Tablecloth into a tunic                                           Doily turned into a bag

 

 

I still have this tunic and it is as gorgeous as the day I made it. Lovely for some formal occasions although the fabric did not let an inch get loose. The doily bag is mostly used for decoration and I have some crochet necklaces stored there, but would surely wear it if the right opportunity presents itself.

 

 

 Refashioning a Cardigan

 

I participated in Agy's Making Good Blog Train and saved this old, stained cardigan's life  by embroidering flowers. It looks fantastic and I hardly ever get to wear it because Eva claimed it her own.

 

 

 

Old Jeans into a Beach Bag

 

Turning old jeans into bag, especially beach bags has always been my forte. This one is among the most beautifully embellished of all.

 

 

Patchworked Mori Scarf

 

 

 A scarf I made inspired by the mori fashion. Had all the female members of my family drool at this :)

Skirt into a scarf

This is another scarf I made combining Eva's old skirt with my favourite woolen scarf.

 

Belt into a Bracelet DIY

 

This one's been quite easy and effective. Hate throwing belts that still have life into themselves.

 
Well, that is all folks. I hope you get inspired to repurpose and refashion.

Save the Earth!
