MakeOver Monday - A Swock REinvent

'MakeOver Monday' 
... sharing how I cut up & REmake items from my wardrobe 
in the hope you'll pick up scissors & start cutting up yours!

When you're on a roll it's hard to stop
and in the case of Swock Sewing
it seems everything hanging in my wardrobe
is a potential Swock in the waiting

the latest has the count at 5
and she was created from a green cardy 
attached to what had orignally in life been steel grey cotton pants
 and a locally designed/manufactured skirt
both were op-shop sourced 
and both were transformed into a skirt a few years ago 
with the addition of a mens tie around the hemline


If you like to keep your sewing simple 
and your wardrobe wearable
I'm pretty sure you'll love Swock Sewing as much as me.

For a bit of fun and to share the love I'm joining in here this week.

    1. Well spotted liniecat - and the reason why skirts make much better Swocks. x

  2. This looks great. I'm just thinking about getting back out my sewing machine to alter/make clothes that fit me. This looks like a good way to start!

  3. loving all your swoks. I have reinvented a merino cardy, just need some photos and it will be on my blog. I used your triangle piecing under the arm from your tutorial ages ago. Thanks for that, really helped.
