Thrifted - Blog Posts

One of my more recent sewing ish projects.

Bought the sweeter second for really like a year ago and have never worn it and now I have some much needed black and white yarn for free (the yarn balls might be full of knots but it still works)

i had kinda planned to post about all of my different sewing projects more often, so here's a cardigan (pretty sure that's what it's calld) that i recently thrifted and added pockets to. Thw pockets are made out of a scrap fabric from a fast fashion shirt that i think i bought like 5 years ago( part of it was in my fabric bag). Kinda still wanna ad more to it but not sure what yet

Somewhat recently finished project (thriftflip). Don't have a photo of what it used to look like but it's probably easy to imagine because I didn't do much/ changed it dramatically.

Found this slip (including some detachable pretty lace) online a while ago, I haven't worn it because it's "boring" and way too wide/ boxy looking on me.

I hand sewn on some lace I found at a local smaller thrift store and also added lacing (holes) with ribbon.

I've worn it a few times now and it fits really good (it's also very adjustable) and is almost perfect as a base layer with the lacing removed.

It also went through the washing machine unbroken (I'm always terrified of that) and the lace is still glittery.

Anyways I have somewhat of a backlog that I'm hoping to get photos and be able to post somewhat soon.

Unaltered unusable clothes that are gonna be used for something sometime: 10

Recently found this at the thrift store for only like 3 euro and I just couldn't say no

So I'm gonna start posting updates for my current sewing project mostly for myself to remind myself that I'm actually making progress. Fell free to follow along or take inspo. Almost most of it's gonna technically be "thriftflips" because that's where almost all of my clothes and fabric is from ( also because my favorite sewing technique is stealing).

Current project is this skirt I bought second hand online, I didn't look to close on the fabric and can't really think of a way I would wear it.

I thought it would be a really good base for other things and good for the cold (so far I think I'm right). The othet fabrics are a mix of old (mostly 5+ years) fast fashion and thrifted clothes, that are either broken or I can't really see myself wearing for multiple reasons.

Next steps are gonna be to get my at least 100+ safety pins back by sewing everything together by hand. I'm also gonna figure out something more for the second panel probably lace in some way.

Clothes to be used/ altered that's not started on yet: 16
