The Refashioners 2017 – #SuitsYou

The Refashioners 2017 – #SuitsYou

It’s that time of year again! The Refashioners is here! If you haven’t heard of the project before, it’s hosted by the amazing Portia Lawrie of the Makery blog. I’m so honored that she asked me to participate again this year. You may remember that last year’s theme was jeans (see my make here). This year the theme is "Suits". To be honest, at first I really wasn’t sure about doing it. Suits make me think of thick, scratchy wool fabric and I live in a warm, sunny climate and happen to have a wool allergy. But Portia wisely pointed out that there are also suits made of linen and wouldn’t that be a lovely fabric to play with? So, I agreed to participate and I’m so glad that I did.

I was so thrilled and honored when Portia asked me to participate in the Refashioners this year. Then I got really nervous because the challenge was jeans. I was so nervous about creating something reminiscent of my grungy '90s days. I really wanted to make something that didn't obviously look like it was made from old jeans. Which let's face it, is not easy.
