Some people wear vintage clothing well – but there are other people who don’t and some garments that make you feel out-of-date.
Such was the case with this lovely brushed cotton frock which my friend Ele gave me to update for her as Sew 139, see below.
But first, I’ve included a photo of this quick and easy refresh Ele achieved for her verandah chairs using large op-shop bought t-shirts and a bit of hand-sewing using blanket stitch one evening.
This upcycle just goes to show you don’t need a sewing machine, you don’t need heaps of time or money – you just need a little motivation and effort to transform an old sofa with $25 worth of cast-off clothing.
