Our newest entries into Project ReStyle come all the way from philadelphia! This super cute oversized vintage dress to cute mini dress had me itching for a good thrift/sewing session. Inspiring, no?
This Suede skirt to a purse ReStyle is so amazing! I love the idea of making a purse from an oversized skirt. The tassels are so pretty too!
Special Thank yous to Veronika of Tick Tock Vintage for whipping up these inspiring ReStyles. XO, Elsie

Woweee- some brilliant transformations there. What cleverness!
LOVE the purse! I’m going to take a class on modifying clothing soon. Once I have some sewing tricks at hand, I’ll be fixing up all of my unwearables!

Wow these are amazing! How creative… might have to go back through that bag of old clothes I had marked for the charity shop now 😉
Amazing transformations!
Wow, how talented! I am in love with the bag. So inspiring!
I am SO impressed by both of these items! Nice job!
Wow that dress restyle is AMAZING. It inspires me to get out to the thrift stores and not look past a piece just because it’s not in my size.

Holy cow, that bag is beyond impressive. Very pretty, and makes me wish my seamstress skills were much further along then they currently are. So cute.
Great job!
these are jaw-dropping!!!! Cute & inspiring!
Great makeovers! I made handbags out of thrifted leather skirts and jackets too. I love breathing new life into things!

Amazing and inspiring! Share these types of re-styles more often, please!
I am amazed, these are incredible! I especially love the skirt (I adore suede and fringe!) Thank you for posting these!!!
Oh my gosh, wow! These are fantastic! I can’t believe that dress..it’s so cute now! x

Wow! I’m obsessed with both of these re-styles! So awesome! <3
Wow! You did such a great job revamping the old pieces!
I was so impressed with these when I saw these on her blog. It totally inspired me to think outside the box when thrifting.
Wow, the second one is suuuper creative!
These are incredible, I am very inspired! Who would have thought that such a bulky dress could be saved and turned into the most beautiful mini dress. The most I usually do to save vintage pieces is take the hem up! <3
Wow!!! Never would have thought that that sweet little hand bag came from that skirt! So swell!
Man, I can’t believe the before, the after takes some serious talent, and I bet there is a huge learning curve behind that.
Love the “new” bag! The idea is great!

Those are both so awesome! In my next life I hope to be half this creative. =]
The skirt to bag is just too much!! I’m totally in love. What a fantastic idea.
XOXO
Love that purse! I could never do that.

I can’t say, but the fact is that with millions of merchants accepting these cards enforcement is minimal.
Nice one, you don’t have to throw away your used things and just reinvent and restyle them all you want.
