Super cute. Love polka dots. Thanks for taking the time to share ❤❤❤

[@RefashionistaSheri]

It's definitely a wardrobe favourite now! 😍

[@wallysworld3435]

Love the pants, no belt loops needed. That side seam thing is my favorite way to upcycle too small pants and skirts

[@RefashionistaSheri]

Mine too! It also works great on tops & dresses 😀 there's even more ideas in my upsizing tutorials playlist: ruclips.net/p/PL7dZmqeknPlgJVbHv_tSxrR7VXJGxXgLO&si=zz-S0VFdyUp5I6uL

[@helle5285]

Love the pants! I've done this with shorts before, it adds a nice little pop of color.

[@RefashionistaSheri]

The pants came out perfectly! 😊 I'll definitely try it with shorts too!

[@user-xd2ml8dn9h]

Yes add the belt loops

[@RefashionistaSheri]

👍✂️🧵♻️

[@KarenS-k8t]

Another refashion success! I love it! Now I know what to do with those 80s dresses that are a bit big on top, but too small in the hips.

[@RefashionistaSheri]

Thanks! 😃 it's truly an awesome 2 for 1 project with a fabulous result ♻️

[@wickedwitch3520]

That's cute! I personally think there is beauty in imperfection. ❤

[@RefashionistaSheri]

@@wickedwitch3520 thanks 😊 The trolls who yell the loudest about "messy interior seams" are always the ones who don't actually create anything themselves 🤣

[@SnoopdogPettersson-pk4hg]

Ladys 👻 hang on to your knickers . . . this came out absolutely awesome ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
and forget these trolls, people who talk/write like this, can't even sew on a button 😅
🧶✂️🧵🧷

[@RefashionistaSheri]

Ich liebe dienen Kommentar! 🤩 Danke für das Lachen! 🤣

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

Sorry about the earlier comment, Sheri. RUclips was being screwy where I was trying to comment on a totally different post, but it put it on YOUR video! I deleted it.
This is a really nice refashion, and I like how you still gave a nod to the 80s with the outcome.
If someone really cares about “messy stitching” on items that YOU’RE wearing for YOURSELF, they need to touch grass .😂

[@RefashionistaSheri]

It's truly weird when trolls find it necessary to comment on the InTeRiOr stitching in a tutorial video 🤪 I love the expression "touch grass" so much - it says everything needed in 2 pleasant words! 😂

[@user-xd2ml8dn9h]

I love this I'm excited to try it with some of my too small things

[@RefashionistaSheri]
