Refashioning My Old Clothes - a Sewing Marathon to start the year fresh!
It’s time to clear my sewing to-do list and start the new year with a refreshed wardrobe! In this video, I’m diving into a marathon session of refashioning, upcycling, and altering clothes from my closet. I’m giving new life to pieces I’ve been meaning to update for ages.
This isn’t just about finishing old projects-it’s about starting 2025 with a sense of accomplishment and clearing mental space for the creative projects I’ve planned, like quilting!
Sometimes the hardest part of creativity is just clearing the way for it. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed by unfinished projects, I hope this video inspires you to tackle your own to-do list-one stitch at a time.

    I love this quilt and have just made my version of it using doilies (my mum's who passed away 27 years ago), pale blue lace from her wedding dress and other bits and pieces. It is all done on white and cream squares (old sheets) and I love the neutral colours. I then went on and made a second neutral quilt (negative space I think it might be called) quilt with some cream and white batiks. I love your channel and that you are a fellow Perth girl.

    It was certainly a labour of love ! what a lot of work but a beautiful result. I am absolutely thrilled to see the use of the doilies. I have a friend who is going to move to a Care home and has to reluctantly give away things she has crafted including beautiful crochet doilies. Now I have the perfect solution. I will make a throw which she can keep in her room and show the staff her doilies that she won prizes for many years ago. Sadly people do not use doilies these days so this is a way to preserve the intricate craft.

    I just bought some new clothes that, in theory, I liked online but not on my body. I've decided to alter them because they ticked some boxes of things I've wanted in my wardrobe for some time. I think altering clothes to work for you makes sense overall as RTW clothes aren't really made to fit your specific body.
