Re Fashion : To fashion again or anew

It is a concept that has been followed timelessly but is making its way into mainstream fashion as a result of the current "Green" movement. It is refashioning older garment into new ideas by adding to it or using elements from different garments, together, to create an entirely new article of clothing.

Original and environmentally responsible.

The jacket is a 50/50 poly/rayon blend in a light heathered gray. It is a very tailored looking jacket with pockets a band across the back and a longer cut which made it perfect for the Victorian era styling that I wanted to give it. There is a ruffled trim that runs along the collar and down the front that I finished off with a burgundy lace on the inside. The bursting bloom is handcrafted by me using felted wool, cotton muslin and ecru toole. The flower is attached with a pin and tacked down in a couple of spots so it is easily removed for cleaning.

Poppies in felted wool are the focus of this skirt. They wind around a vintage placemat pocket and spill down the side, entwined in satin ribbon.

The skirt is 100% Linen with a subdued sequin trim at the bottom hem. It is lined in polyester and zips up the side. The size is 10.

Oh so sweet in baby pink and cream. Take a pretty pink top in lightweight cotton, add a fancy stripey ruffle and felted wool flower and you've got one adorable top. Perfect for summer.

A beautiful wool poncho that can be worn several ways. The poncho itself is made from a wool throw. The edges have decorative stitching and I have created a collar at the top. A vintage crochet doilie has been added to the top and can be worn around the neck as shown in the photos. There is a button to secure it around your neck. The crochet doilie can be worn unfastened as well. The large felted flower pin can be removed altogether and worn on another garment. I've also added some small felt flowers here and there. Try wearing the poncho as shown or with the seam down the center in front. Anyway you wear it this piece is stunning and an absolute one of a kind.
