Do you have a tank top collecting dust in your closet? Maybe it's a graphic tee you've grown out of or a style that just doesn't work for you anymore. For example, this tank top was a souvenir I bought back in 2016. The style didn't work for me, but I didn't want to get rid of it. So, before you toss yours out, consider giving it new life with a fun and easy refashion project! This tutorial (Youtube video is linked below) is perfect for beginners and takes a basic tank top and transforms it into a trendy coquette-inspired piece. 

 In the video, I'll teach you how to add a cute ruffle with exposed seams, delicate lace trim, and adorable bows on the straps. I created this tank top specifically for Fourth of July (see it in my collection of coquette Fourth of July outfits!) The best part? This technique can be applied to any tank top in your wardrobe, so you can create a whole new collection of coquette summer staples!




Coquette Inspired Tank Top Refashion

We all have those clothes in our closet that just don't see the light of day anymore. For me, it was a pair of jogger-style sweatpants that didn't fit right. Instead of tossing them out, I decided to get creative and refashion them into something new! With a little effort, I transformed those unworn sweats into a trendy jogger skirt. I love the final result – it's such a perfect fit, comfortable, and it has become a staple in my wardrobe.

This comfy transformation is surprisingly easy! I filmed the step-by-step process in the Youtube video linked below. Whether you're a seasoned sewer or a complete beginner, this tutorial makes refashioning your old sweats into a stylish skirt a breeze. So ditch the donation pile and grab your sewing supplies – you might be surprised at the wardrobe favorite you can create from those forgotten or unworn clothes!



 

Sweatpants to Jogger Skirt Refashion

Friday, June 28, 2024

 I don’t really wear long cardigans anymore, but I loved the soft pink color of this one, so I wanted to create something I would love and actually wear. I actually have a crop cardigan and tank top set that I love, which inspired me to create my own. I thought this long cardigan was the perfect piece to refashion to achieve the look I wanted. 

This cropped knit cardigan quickly turned into one of my favorite pieces from my closet. It adds the perfect coquette touch to any outfit, especially with the pink velvet ribbon bows I added to the pockets.   wear a camisole underneath the crop tank top, since it is super cropped. If I had a cardigan a size or two bigger, I probably could've gotten a slightly longer tank. I didn't want the actual cropped cardigan sweater to fit too loose though.

The tutorial for this is in the video below (or my YouTube channel!)
