Wardrobe Refashion - the Pledge

I don't have time for a proper post right now, but here's my pledge:

I Starr, pledge that I shall abstain from the purchase of "new" manufactured items of clothing, for the period of 2 / 4 / 6 months. I pledge that i shall refashion, renovate, recycle preloved items for myself with my own hands in fabric, yarn or other medium for the term of my contract. I pledge that I will share the love and post a photo of my refashioned, renovated, recycled, crafted or created item of clothing on the Wardrobe Refashion blog, so that others may share the joy that thy thriftiness brings!

Signed Starr.
XOXO

The plan fizzled out...

but I've done a lot of sewing between my last post and now.

I sewed my son's Halloween costume (he was the Wolf Man):



I started out working on the SWAP plan, but as the end of my pregnancy got closer and closer I was less and less motivated to sew maternity stuff, so I found myself tinkering with what I should sew rather than actually sewing. I made the Burda maternity pants, which came out great, but the fabric I used did not hold up well and ripped at the seam. I did manage to get some not-so-great pictures before they went into the rag bin:




And numerous other projects: curtains, crib sheets, cloth diapers, soft toys, Christmas gifts, etc. I really should have posted pics to my blog as soon as I finished each project, but instead I posted some to forums, others I didn't even photograph. I'm definitely going to make an effort to post more about the stuff I make - I've also applied to join the Wardrobe Refashion blog which will hopefully serve as a bit of a reminder that I need to post more.
