We’re continuing the rewatch of my original 30 Days of Refashions 2022 challenge with Days 8–14. This week is packed with creative transformations: from a no-sew belt bag to turning a lace tablecloth into a flowing boho dress.
Looking back, I’m still amazed at how versatile upcycling can be. A blouse becomes brand new with sock sleeves, a vintage dress gets upsized into a ruffled top, and even velvet trousers get a fresh fit. These DIY thrift flip tutorials prove that you don’t need money or new fabric to refresh your style – just imagination and what you already have.
