SUGGESTED ORDER
Refashion those throwaway items into
something new and oh so chic.
This book takes readers step-by-step through an inventive,
resourceful, and inspiring “refashioning” process for creating
fabulous clothes without breaking the bank. With an eye for all
things “stylishly vintage,” Mary Jane Baxter demonstrates how a host
of new fashions and accessories can be created from old clothing.
Transform ornate trims and vintage buttons into spectacular
brooches, craft a favorite silk scarf into a chic top, or rework flea
market shoes into fashionable showstoppers.
This craft book with fashion sense and personality will inspire,
delight, and rejuvenate a tired wardrobe into something inventive,
fresh, and new.
