given my recent obsession with everything diy, craft and sewing it seemed only natural to create a blog feature out of just that. and so wardrobe rehab was born! the premise: find and fix existing wardrobe items making them once again wearable, unique and stylish. sounds like my kind of challenge! i love wearing clothes that no-one else has, however sometimes funding this habit can become somewhat challenging. this seems like the perfect solution to recycling things i already have rather than buying new things and giving the old unworn stuff to charity.
my first rehab project was a little bit of a cheat but i think its still valid because of the insanely low cost involved.
existing item: a leona edmiston scarf i found scouring through my local salvo's store for $5. this is where the cheating comes into it, i purchased a navy blue racer back tank top from big w for $6 because my other tanks are all rather strappy.
the idea: sew the scarf to the top in the fashion of a floaty clown collar.
supplies: racer back tank, scarf, needle, thread
first, i gathered the scarf from the centre, so it was doubled over, with a needle and thread.
ta daa! the finished product
then i simply pinned and sewed the gathered scarf onto the tank. finito!
must have been the easiest thing i've made/altered, i finished the whole thing while watching an episode of gossip girl!
