With much excitement, today I can announce that Portia (AKA Miss P) is hosting and organising another round of 'The Refashioners'. As she discussed in the recent interview she undertook on this here little blog, Portia explains that the aim of The Refashioners challenge is to encourage sewers to use existing garments as the basis of some of their projects, and to look at refashioning in a new light.
Kicking off on her blog on 3rd June, over two weeks we'll be seeing the results of the selected sewing bloggers Miss P has charged with injecting wearability into unloved garments. 'So who are these sewing bloggers Miss P has gathered for the 2013 round of The Refashioners?', you may ask...
Karen - Did You Make That
Dixie - Dixie DIY
Portia - Miss P
Marie - A Stitching Odyssey
Joanne - Stitch and Witter
Lauren - Lladybird
Tasha - By Gum By Golly
Elisalex - Stitch me Softly and By Hand - London
Sally - Charity Shop Chic
Liz - Cotton & Curls
Zoe (AKA me) - 'So, Zo...'
I think Portia has done an awesome job in approaching sewers that create a real variety of personal styles and sewing approaches. I'm positive that the results will be as equally varied, with those two weeks providing a healthy dollop of inspiration whatever floats your own stylistic boat.
Shortly we will all be sent our raw materials to get making. I feel a little intimidated about creating something fabulous but wearable whilst in such talented company! Especially because I feel a bit out of practice having not worked for TRAIDremade for six months now. I can only flex the refashioning muscles my mumma gave me I guess!

Girl I've never seen a dud from you! You'll be fab :0)
So excited to be a part of this! Can't wait to see what everyone makes! :)
Oh how exciting! Can't wait to see what you all come up with! I am sure you will do great!
Sounds fun! I just inherited lots of fabric from relatives so I'll be sewing from scratch for a while but I do have a few items in the refashioning pile. I'll be following you on bloglovin to find out what you make!

I'm so excited about being a part of it! It's going to be fabulous. Although I admit I really don't have much experience refashioning per se, so it truly will be a challenge. I'll have my work cut out for me! ;)
