Up-cycling & revamping an old dress to new!

Tuesday, May 14th, 2013

Hi everyone,

Today’s blog post features a terrific sewing project of “up-cycling!”

Transforming an old dress into a new one with some very simple sewing!

This project is one of Jacqueline’s, where she had an old long white summer dress that had really seen its day. Watch how she quickly and easily transformed it into something new!

BEFORE BUTTONS

New Buttons!

So as you can see, Jacqueline cut off the full length hem to her knee, changed the old yellow buttons to white with a black outline, threw it in the wash with white king, gave it a good press and it was like brand new!

What do you think? Does this inspire you to up-cycle something in your wardrobe?

Sewing shopping in Serbia!

Sunday, April 7th, 2013

Hi everyone,

I’m so excited to share with you that my daughter Jacqueline has been sewing shopping in Belgrade, Serbia!

The reason this is just so special to me is that I’m half Serbian myself, as my late father is from Nis, Serbia.

Jacqueline was lucky enough to have a trip to Serbia to both visit coaching clients of hers and meet some of our family!

I can’t wait to visit there with Jacqueline next time.

As always while traveling we love to check out the sewing shops and sewing venues. Jacqueline did this and you can see her findings in this video below:

Pozamanterija, Te Merkator, Bulevar, Umetnosti 4, Novi Beograd

We hope you liked this special Serbian sewing video today and would love to hear your comments below!
