A High-low skirt is usually too high in front to be modest but obviously nice and long in the back, so I decided to alter one. Both the skirt and dress were given to me – so free. I loved the print on the strapless dress and even made use of the pockets! First I […]

Filling in V-necks
For my body type V-necks NEVER work. They are always too low. And although I don’t mind the layered look of a tank-top underneath, I live in way too warm a climate to be wearing basically two shirts. So I took some tanks picked up for 25cents at the Thrift Outlet and cut out and sewed […]
Chevron Halter Dress to Skirt
This Halter dress is not only lacking sleeves to make it modest, but it’s also too short so I decided to turn it into a skirt. The back of the dress was smocked which turned into a very supportive waistband. I simply reconstructed the front top to make a flat waistband and a super comfy skirt. […]
Maxi Dress to Maxi Skirt
Sometimes #ModestRefashions are easy! This Maxi dress is immodest and in 3 simple steps was turned into an awesome & modest Maxi skirt. We decided to keep maximum length and cut off the top right at the armpit seam. We then folded down a nice wide waistband, and pinned in place. The final step was […]
T-shirt Refashion
I have a favorite shirt, that just fits so well and I’ve always wanted to have it in other colors but as it was bought resale I don’t know where to buy more. I’ve long thought it would be easy to copy the design, and I was right. I started with an XL long sleeve […]
Flower Shirt Refashion
A very simple yet effective refashion, I simply loved the print on this shirt I got at the Thrift Outlet for 50cents but it was several sizes to big and the neckline was way too low – and ruffles around the collar, why? A little seam ripper and a few stitches later and I have […]
Refashion to Princess Dress
This pink dress, picked up for 99cents at the Thrift Outlet was easily transformed into a Princess Dress with puff sleeves – my most functional (and pretty) sleeves added so far. The dress needed to be resized slightly so I seam ripped the shoulder straps and resewed them slightly shorter. I found a puff sleeve […]
High Low & Cap Sleeve Prom Dress
Prom almost always requires a little sewing to make a dress modest, here we added cap sleeves and Camille needed the dress hemmed and for something a little different and ot make dancing easier we decided on a High Low hem. First we seam ripped the arm hole – as the dress has a complete bodice cap sleeves […]
P-Jays to Maxi Skirt
Want the cheapest, easiest & quickest way to make a maxi skirt? Make one from a pair of p-jay pants! Seam rip the inseam. Once the entire inseam is seam ripped open, reverse the pants and match right sides together. Pin the middle edges together and draw a straight line removing the ‘crotch’ of the pants and creating […]
Two Skirts & a Shirt to a Reversible Skirt
Always test your clothing in sunlight to see how sheer it appears. When standing up against a window with sunlight pouring in Sierra noticed that Lauren’s 2$ thrift store skirt was completely revealing. We thus hunted for a lining fabric, and found a green skirt at the thrift outlet for 25 cents that we […]
