Removing Revolting Ribbing REfashion

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

There's nothing like the desire 
to wear your newly op-shop-sourced favourite cardigan
to the last class of an 8wk workshop
that needs a Ribbing REfashion 
to get the creative mojo pumping!

I dislike ribbing because of the way it drags the front of the garment to the back 
and sometimes the length of a cardy is too long.
With an hour up my sleeve 
the ribbing came off


and some recently handmade bias binding went on


and even though I didn't have time
 to hand stitch the ends or replace missing buttons 


she was perfect...

 not only does she now sit comfortabley at the right length
looking good with the tunic I made last winter
she also does a great job of showing off one of the new
 Frippery Pebble neckpieces.


and just in case you'd like to do something similar
there's new workshop dates/times up on the Website 

....and there's still a few Fripperys left in the Shop.
