Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, RE-FORM

Our clothing budget is very small because of the generosity of friends and family. People are always gifting us with their no-longer needed clothing. Often, however, those clothes are not the right size, or season, or are from a now faded fashion craze.

No need to worry. Environmentally-conscious super sewing mama will wield her magic colourful thread and re-form those unwanted items into something that will save the day.

Problem – Not enough winter pants for the Littlest One.
Solution – Re-form a pair of summer denim Capri pants.

I added an extended hem in bright pink with little white polka dots (from my stash). This matched some embroidered flowers on the back pocket.

No the Littlest One has some lovely “new” pants for the winter season.
