Inspiration Collage

This is my inspiration board for 'upcycled'..'recycled'...'repurposed'...clothing.  Most of these pieces are made from reclaimed materials.  (Image searches used: Etsy, google, shopstyle.com)  It has been a VERY long time since I created something for ME.  I haven't really designed or sewn anything significant for myself since my wedding dress (11 years ago!)  I think it is time I re-purposed that pile of clothing that I just can't seem to toss out.  Hmmm.. maybe an accessory to go with my usual jeans and t-shirt?

  1. beautiful inspiration board Michelle - I especially like the vintage nod. The green on the dress in the upper left is to die for! I hear your on the creating for me department - maybe we should start small, those floral pins might be a good fit, what do you think? Thanks for sharing!

  2. Sounds like a plan--- pins or maybe a scarf with rosettes. I'll post if I get something made!

  4. We're here! We're here! Or at least I am! Sorry, I seem to be a natural at blogging, and do a decent job of following everyone else's blogs, just don't seem to be doing so well at commenting. I love the feedback I have recieved, it makes me feel as though I am not just broadcasting into space. I will try to do better!

    Your inspiration collage is, well, inspiring. ; ) I love the idea of 'repurposing' and have pretty much achieved the status of a 'regular'at local thrift shops. I subscribe to the magazine ReadyMade instructions for Everday Life. ( The entire magazine is available online I think.) Check-out this section http://www.readymade.com/category/fashion_style
    I kinda like the ruffled zipper necklace...

  5. Sheryl,
    OOps - didn't mean to leave the "where are my classmates" comment up. I posted it during my screencast. I too spend time reading and don't always get to the comments. Thanks for the link.
