“There’s power in looking silly and not caring that you do.”
– Amy Poehler
I’m Sheri Pavlović, the DIY diva & author behind the book series, channel & blog Confessions of a Refashionista, the fabulous eco-friendly corner of the internet packed with step-by-step upcycling tutorials for everything from groovy clothing & accessories to funky home decor + a healthy dose of affordable sustainable lifestyle inspiration!
I absolutely adore transforming old into new and sharing my adventures in upcycling with you!
I’m Canadian but lived a most extraordinary existence in North America, Japan, England, Greece & Germany before finally ending up in Toronto after over 20 years spent living & working abroad in the DIY, Fashion, Publishing, Education & Entertainment industries:
My personal definition of a Refashionista? A kick ass DIY eco-fashion & décor upcycling warrior who firmly believes that fab, affordable, unique style can be achieved by anyone without supporting the phenomenon of cheap, unethically produced products & fashion.
I’m often asked why I work so hard creating & sharing refashioning/DIY tutorials & thrifted/second hand outfit inspiration for free – this is why.
Feel free to share your fave Confessions of a Refashionista tutorials & articles with your online circles and encourage them to do the same, because eco-friendly living shouldn’t cost the Earth.
Simply download & get started creating your own, unique, ethical, DIY eco-style!

the playlist is awesome! Brings back such memories! Thank you!
You’re very welcome Suzie (although it’s a bit horrifying that the songs are now considered “oldies”, akk!)
I love it! Absolut cool und abgefahren!!! Es passt klasse in deine Persönlichkeitscollage (auch wenn Eigenlob stinken soll
).
Du hast absolut Recht! Alle meine Basteldibix-kreierten Logos sind toll & passen perfekt zu meinem Stil! Vielleicht muss ich alle meine ‘alten’ Logos durch einen komplett neuen Look nach Basteldibix Art ersetzen!
this blog is so funky, love it!
Herzlichen Dank! Have fun looking around
Love your stories about Germany!
I have an American friend who decided to move to Germany last year, so I know the stress you’ve been to 
Great blog!
Lieben Dank Lotte
Deutschland ist äußerst bürokratisch, es ist wirklich sehr lustig. Ich habe immer die Absicht zu versuchen, den “Kundendienst”-Personal lachen (oder mindestens lächeln zu lassen).
*Leider ist mein Deutsch nicht gut aber ich lern noch
cute video. Going to do some more reading on your blog. Not so much an up-cycler as a sewer from scratch, but love to see what others create.It’s a wonderful ability.
Thank-you very much and welcome to my wonder world of upcycling (with a bit of Life in Germany thrown in for good measure =O). Enjoy browsing around ;O)
hi there! love your blog. Was wondering whether you’re interested in being featured on Green Issues
Thanks!
I’d be honoured to be one of your featured Greeny Crafters!
would love to follow you…are you on facebook? Being inspired by designers in the business keeps my creative juices flowing. I car for my Mom with Alzheimers and it becomes a little consuming. My art is one of my outlets. I too like your humor
Thanks so much for your groovy compliments! I’ll keep writing & sharing my creations as long as you keep reading & enjoying ’em! =O)
I am now an avid reader! Keep up the awesomesauce! Asshattery- optional. I am already sharing your tuts with the appropriate audiences. Love ya!
I love your sense of humour and your ideas are great – thanks for sharing!
