How To Make Your Own Clothes Without Sewing

(Watch my video to learn how an old, ill-fitting cotton blouse, a t-shirt and a broken necklace,  can be recycled and made into a uniquely embellished vest.)

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CLOTHES WITHOUT SEWING
...from re-using these items:

1. From an Ill-Fitting Cotton Shirt to a Crisply Accessorized Vest or Jacket - Cut the collar and/or cuffs off of a cotton shirt and re-attach them to another article of clothing like a vest or jacket. 

2. From a Stained T-Shirt to a Soft, Girly Flounce - Cut off the bottom of a t-shirt and then cut that piece in half and gather one side for a flounce or train you can attach to a jacket or vest or another shirt.

3. From Broken, Out-of-Style or Tarnished Jewelry to a Ga-Ga Inspired Ensemble- Save any jewelry or hardware you would normally throw out because you will probably have the change to use them for embellishing. Drape chains across the back of a tank top or attach bracelets/chains to the shoulder(s) of a jacket, vest, shirt, etc. 

4. From a "Too Short" Short Skirt to a Peplum Look - Pat yourself on the back for hanging onto your minis no matter what unrealistic the reason. Put that shorty back on, but this time on top of another skirt or dress and you'll have a peplum look that everyone will envy.
