Transforming Old Clothing with a Thread and Needle

Recently, on social media, I came across a beautiful girl with golden hands and irrepressible fantasy who inspired me to reconsider my old wardrobe. What she does is motivate people to change things. The girl's name is April, and now she is a fashion blogger and fashion designer.

All her friends admired her beautiful and stylishly And they wondered how she managed to look like that, knowing that she was in financial trouble. The secret is simple. April would buy things from second-hand or charity stores and embroidery them.

Now the girl is proud of her work. After all, all these things would have been thrown away long ago, and they, it turned out, can still be worn and worn.





For his transformations, April uses scissors, threads, a sewing machine, paints for fabric and his boundless imagination. But most of all, she likes to take on old things that have embroidery on them.

All transformations are simple: old things are sewn, shortened, sometimes repainted, unnecessary decorative elements are cut off from them - and comfortable dresses, tunics, sundresses are obtained in resudat.

Editorial "Site" I suggest you look at these. funky. Personally, I'm delighted!

For this transformation, the needlewoman reduced the length of the dress, cut everything superfluous and added several stylish highlights in the form of cuts.
