A Vintage Nightgown Refashion (My #ClimateStrike outfit)

It’s such a treat to rediscover a vintage item I forgot I had in my stash – especially when it turns out to be the perfect ingredient for a project I have in mind!

Take a peek at how simple it is to transform a vintage nightgown into an adorable top, cover up a stubborn stain + stencil your jeans too!

Pop the nightie on, mark it to your desired shirt length and chop on through.

Remove the bottom ruffle from the nightie.

Pin to the chopped edge of the top of the nightie.

Stitch together and enjoy your adorable new to you top!

My nightie had a small but noticeable stubborn stain so I snagged a butterfly patch from my stash and covered it up!

I paired my fab eco shirt with my bleach embellished jeans – grab the tutorial below!

My refashionista outfit was the perfect look to wear to Toronto’s Climate Strike march:

We found a quiet spot to snap a pic of our rockin’ refashionista outfits before heading into the march. Check out the DIY behind my kiddo’s eco dress right here!

On a side note: Climate change is real and has been proven beyond any shadow of a doubt by science, it is not an opinion but 100% fact.

I shared the informative video above on my facebook page and was shocked and saddened to receive illogical and hateful comments:

I will never understand what motivates people to post and direct their spiteful thoughts to strangers online or why this is seen as acceptable behaviour.  I do not respond to cruel or unreasonable comments and, in an effort to keep my social media a happy place, I used to delete them however I’ve now decided that if these people wish to share their unkind opinions publicly then perhaps others might benefit from seeing the silliness that those of us who work online receive every day.

It’s absolutely fantastic that I’m able to share my creative tutorials with the world, encourage others to embrace an affordable, sustainable lifestyle and reach such a large audience, unfortunately becoming popular online also comes with its fair share of ew mixed in with love. Here’s how I deal with it:
