Two things are on my plan of action for 2015:
To reduce my fabric before I buy new one.
To organize my wardrobe new (do you know the little boys which come during the night in your wardrobe to sew your clothes narrower, we call they calories). This means all clothes which are narrow or not up to date have to sort out.
Found a piece, sorted it out, thouhgt of my fabric and decided to try a refreshening. Sorry for the plurry pictures.

Awesome and very creative.........I think the little calorie boy travels around the world and hits us all, especially at the holidays....

I love what you have done to refresh this top. Well done. I keep trying to chase the calories away, but they are very persistant.

Those little mischievous calorie boys struck at my house too! Even got into my husband's clothes! Now, I might be able to get away refreshing a top like your beautiful one but something tells me the husband will just have to exercise, lol! You did a great job on the top. Is that embroidery on the left front?

Yes, they struck my house too!!! Thanks for sharing how to refurbish my wardrobe without breaking the bank! Yay!!!

Thanks for sharing - great renewal for elder tops even if the calory boys did not do their heavy work :-)
But also good to know whom to blame in future; before I thought it was the weak myself which could not fight the chocolate and cake attacks
Thanks again - Maria

I like your theory of the little gremlins and their mischievous behavior!! I also like your incredibly cute solution to their visits! I'm inspired!! I think I may revamp my whole wardrobe with your fantastic idea! If you have another super fantastic solution for pants/jeans, that would be a huge bonus! My wardrobe just needs a little bit of updating. Thank you for sharing!!

This is my plan of action also, across all of my crafts, and I love what you've done here. I empty my wardrobe and put them all back because I Know I should do Something - but What? You've inspired me to go through my wardrobe once again. Jan
