Unfortunately, we do not always have time to keep up with fashion, and many of our favorite things are left out of our attention when buying another pullover or dress. If you want to not part with your favorite clothes and give her a second life, remaking old things into fashionable ones with your own hands will help you update your wardrobe and save money.

Couture Converted Things: Design Ideas

Do you consider yourself an icon of style and constantly follow the latest in fashion? Then this article is especially for you. Dear girls, carefully review your wardrobe. Surely you will find two or three things that you do not want to part with, but due to wear and tear you no longer wear them when you go out.

If you want to tackle clothes, you need to not only learn the ideas and advice of designers, but also master the skills in cutting and sewing. Believe me, you can give almost any thing a second life. By the way, this applies not only to clothing. You can remake accessories, hats, etc.

Before we begin the process of transforming your favorite things into fashionable and modern clothes, let's get acquainted with some aspects, or rather, with the advice of famous designers and hand-made masters:

• From old jeans you can make an original clutch, handbag, vest or cute shorts.
• If you need to eliminate scuffs or holes in clothes, then you can use embroidery, ornaments, fabric inserts or patches for decoration.
• An original and unique blouse can be made from an old shirt, for this you need to make just a few cuts with scissors and sew side seams.
• You can decorate old clothes with buttons, sequins, beads, embroidery, rhinestones, zippers, pins, etc.
• From ordinary pins, you can make an original pattern on the back of a T-shirt or sweatshirt. To do this, use a stencil and attach pins of the same size along its outline.
• Old things can be painted with colorful paints. For drawing a graphic image, it is best to use stencils or special templates.
• Old jeans, shorts or skirts can be decorated with lace inserts or laces.
• Alterations from old things with your own hands will look more original and newer if you smoothly follow all the seam elements and select the threads of the same color.
• For a change, you can make a zigzag stitch.

If you use lace, they can be harmoniously combined with small pearl beads. Remember that a woman is primarily remembered for her chic and sophisticated outfit. A small black dress can also attract worthy attention.

Mastering customization of old things

This term in the modern world refers to the decoration of clothes or objects that allow you to stand out in the general mass and emphasize your individuality. Some craftswomen have mastered this method of remaking old clothes and receive income from this. If you want to remake an old coat into a new stylish thing, then this workshop will help you. For alteration, you can use a sheepskin coat, coat, old coat or other outerwear. Let's start

Necessary materials:

• old coat;
• measuring tape;
• ribbon decoration;
• hidden buttons;
• scissors.

Modeling process:

As has been said many times, remaking clothes from old to stylish with their own hands is a very complicated, laborious and painstaking process. In order to make a really beautiful wardrobe item, you need to have some skills in cutting and sewing. If you yourself are afraid to take up this matter, entrust the alteration to professionals.

What you get as a result of the transformation depends on your imagination. By the way, a second life can be given to shoes, for example, sandals. It is enough to attach some decorated element - and nobody will recognize the old sandals. Every woman’s wardrobe is complete without a dress. Let's try to give a second life to an old vintage dress.

Necessary materials:

• chalk or a special marker;
• tape for measurement;
• threads
• needles
• sewing machine;
• scissors;
• buttons.

Modeling process:

From old well-worn things, you can simulate a new item for your wardrobe. Before starting work, do not forget to stock up on all the necessary tools and take measurements. If you plan to shorten the model, be sure to consider the seam allowances. Additional decor elements can serve as graphic drawings.

Alteration of clothes, as never before, is very relevant. Of course, the fashion lady is changeable. Today it is fashionable to wear one, and tomorrow it will no longer be relevant. In addition, no one will argue that fashion is a cyclical thing. So, for example, they used to buy low-waist jeans, and more recently it has become fashionable to wear high-waisted jeans, in which fashionable women of the 80s of the 20th century flaunted. And there are many similar examples.

In this regard, remaking clothes does not seem so ridiculous, because every fashionista faced a problem - "Where to put things out of fashion?". And how many such things are stored with us and our mothers in cabinets, chests and boxes? I think that almost everyone will answer - quite a lot.

I offer you some optimal ideas for updating an old wardrobe. In addition to being useful and beneficial, you can be sure that you will become the owner of a designer, exclusive item, as the probability of meeting a person in the same top or t-shirt is extremely small.

New old sweater

So, there are many ideas that can turn old clothes into fashionable and modern. For example, what can you do with an old sweater or blouse that has long been gathering dust in your closet? You can convert them using various invoice accessories or patches, which are very easy to do with your own hands. A couple of easy movements, a little time spent, and now you are the happy owner of a new, fashionable, and also exclusive sweater.

Alteration of clothes - leather jackets

Everyone in the closet has an old leather jacket, which over time became worn and lost its original gloss. On the basis of this jacket, you can make a very popular jacket parka now. With jackets, in general, a separate story, they are very easy to bring to life. So, one of the easiest ways is painting. To do this, briefly lower the bottom of the jacket into the bleach. Voila la and the new jacket is ready. It will perfectly suit the style of boho and will look fashionable with any summer dress. Also, don't be afraid to cut old things. Take the scissors and boldly cut the sleeves at your jacket, here you are ready for a new vest. Make the sleeves asymmetric, decorate the jacket with elegant stripes, and now you are already the owner of the most fashionable jacket in the city.

A new look at jackets, dresses and tops

It is also very easy to update old things and make them fashionable with stripes, rhinestones, beads. Patches can be purchased in specialized stores, cut yourself out of old things well, or create your own emblems. With the help of accessories, you can create a style that you like more - rock, glam or punk.

New life of old shoes

Shoes over time also become unclaimed and live out their lives in boxes or, worse, in the trash. So, for example, from old shoes and ballet shoes it is quite easy to make stylish shoes. They can be inlaid with various stones and sparkles, which always looks fashionable and even more original, paint or use decoupage technique.

Scarves and gloves

I liked the idea of \u200b\u200bgiving an ordinary gray scarf elegance, elegance and charm. For such an alteration, cut off the high-quality part of the scarf and sew on lace or guipure. Choose a contrasting color for the finish or the tone of the product. From an ordinary-looking scarf you receive an exclusive, elegant thing. You can also do part of the scarf with your own hands.

Great idea for old gloves (babukatorium, flickr). Please your daughter, make unusual, bright and elegant gloves with your beloved fairy-tale hero.

A few ideas for lengthening sleeves

To lengthen the sleeves, use ready-made and knitted lace, braid, ribbons, cuffs from old shirts.

In general, most importantly, do not be afraid to experiment, fantasize with your things. After all, remaking clothes is a very exciting process. But, having plunged into creativity, remember the words of the great Coco Chanel - “Fashion as architecture: the main thing is proportions”.

It is very beneficial for manufacturers of clothing for women to assure us that new clothes should be bought almost every week. But we will not follow the lead of marketers and spend crazy money on rags that will soon go out of fashion, right?

We will go the other way: we will remake old things and we will show off in actual new things. In addition to the obvious benefits for our budget, this is a great way to be in trend: handmead and things of past seasons, remade at home, at the peak of popularity in Europe and America. Here are the best ideas for remaking clothes from old to stylish according to StervoMagazine magazine:

Add lace inserts

As we already know, they tell us that lace is relevant again. This is great news for girls who prefer to look feminine. And if you don’t have clothes with lace in your wardrobe - that's okay. It is not necessary to run to the store for new clothes, you can buy a small piece of lace fabric (or find it at home), rummage around in old things, fish out a shirt or dress that you have not worn for a long time, and make lace inserts:

A small lace insert on the back

You can sew a small insert on the back of the shirt directly on top of the fabric. For those who do not like half measures, we offer an option with an insert of lace on the whole back:

Full back lace

Shirts of almost any color and from any natural, fairly dense fabric will do. And if you have an unnecessary open dress and a lace top in your closet, you can combine them and get a hyperactive thing for the new season:

Ripped jeans at home

According to most leading designers and top bloggers, the years will be fashionable in the new season. Still not got this trendy thing? Do not rush to give a decent amount of money in the store. It is better to rummage in the wardrobe and find any old jeans. Classic models and wide trousers will do. The main thing is that the fabric should be dense. Next, take the scissors and turn on the fantasy. If you prefer rather modest clothes, the light option is suitable:

Jeans with a lot of cuts

To make the cuts more natural - use an ordinary fork. With the help of it, it will be possible to stretch the incisions and fluff the fringe from the threads.

You can not only make cuts on jeans, but also decorate them. You will need: a pair of unnecessary trousers, an emery cloth, a paper knife and a fabric marker. Using sandpaper, we thin the fabric, cut holes with a knife and use a marker to decorate the threads remaining in the cuts:

Jeans can be cut and decorated

Brave girls can make jeans with large holes - this is now the most relevant option. Before you start modeling, do not forget to mark the area of \u200b\u200bfuture cuts with chalk, this will greatly improve the result:

Large Slit Jeans

Lace is now relevant not only for shirts and dress, they can be used to decorate jeans. To do this, make very large holes on the pants and hem the laces from the inside. Holes should not be neat and symmetrical, and lace is best taken black or white, with a fairly delicate texture:

• Bag for products from a T-shirt. Sew the lower part, and do the pens in the upper part. You can decorate at the discretion. If you make small cuts in a checkerboard pattern, the bag will become even more spacious.

• Old jeans can become a skirt, pillow, bag, apron.

Fantasy can suggest interesting rework options, and we sew new things from old things, eventually getting fashionable clothes or accessories.

Old new things

So, we sew with our own hands from old things, updating our wardrobe.

If the shirt is tired, and the fabric does not stretch and does not fade, you can make a summer top on one shoulder from it. To do this, cut one sleeve along the armhole. On the other side of the T-shirt, mark the point on the lower edge of the armhole and connect it with a smooth line with the first strap, cut it off. We get a pattern with a shoulder strap on one shoulder. We cut the strap and sew the plastic ring, connecting both parts. The cut line will be processed on the overlock. We got a new model from an old thing.

From the top and several t-shirts, you can make a summer dress. From the t-shirts we cut the bottom, we sew the canvas of the skirt from them, combining color and shape. Then we sew this skirt to the top.

Child's world

We sew to children from old things. The photo shows what wonderful things can happen.

From the top of the jeans you can make a fashionable mini-skirt for the girl. To do this, cut off the legs, and on the bottom we make a fringe.

From an old stretched sweater, you can sew a dress for a girl with a short sleeve. To do this, fold the sweater in half, cut out the shelves. From the sleeves cut off the bottom with an elastic band. We carefully sew in the armhole. We sew seams.

The long sleeves of an old T-shirt can be great leggings for a girl. To do this, we bend along the cut line, insert the elastic, the top can be decorated at your discretion.

From an old children's coat you can make a fashionable vest. We evaporate the sleeves and with a soft drape we sew the neck, armholes, from it we also make straps for fastening.

From the pockets of old jeans you will get an elegant children's handbag. To do this, take two pockets and sew them together. You can make one compartment or two or three. It depends on how to sew the top. The pocket must be cut out with the fabric to which it is sewn. The fabric is cut one or two centimeters more than a pocket, and then fringe is made from this part. On the front side of the bag you can make an applique. The handle of the bag is made from the side seam of the leg, it can also be decorated with a fringe.

Alteration Ideas

We sew new ones from old things. If in good condition, but it has become short, then you can make a contrasting color insert at the bottom and decorate the top of the shirt with a catchy element of the same material (it can be, for example, a butterfly or a flower).

If the jeans for the girl are short, they can be lengthened with multi-colored braid.

  we sew ourselves from old things. For him, we need the remainder of denim, thread, needle, awl, beads, thin elastic. From the fabric we cut a rectangle 5 cm wide and 20-25 cm long. Along the entire length on both sides we make a fringe 1 cm wide. With an awl we pierce holes in the material. We assemble the bracelet on an elastic band as follows: we make two or three folds, then a bead. Thus we do all the work. Sew the ends of the fabric.

From the scraps, an original apron is obtained. Pockets can be of a different color, this will add unusualness to the product.

For children

We sew a pillow for children from old things and make an original glass for pencils.

We cut out a circle from old jeans and add details: ears from the same material, eyes and a nose from buttons, you can sew a bow. The head of a bear, pig or owl is ready. It will make a wonderful pillow cover for the nursery.

From old tights we sew a snake pillow. For her, you will need several tights of the same size, from which we cut off the lower part and the top. Then we sew the cooked pieces together. At one end, we make the head of a snake, with buttons, we designate eyes. Then we evenly stuff the padding polyester, sew the other end. We twist the snake into a ring and fasten it together. The result was an original pillow.

To prevent the child from throwing pencils, we will weave him an unusual glass. You will need a sleeve from toilet paper, glue and cut out seams from jeans. First, glue the bottom with thick paper, then glue strips of denim to the bottom of it and close it with another circle of paper. If you raise the strips up, they should be approximately two centimeters apart. Now we circle the cup in a circle, arranging the horizontal stripes in a checkerboard pattern. At the top we glue the edging.

Practical hobby

When we sew new ones from old things, this allows us not only to take our free time, but also significantly save the family budget.

Of course, these things sometimes turn out to be far from perfect, and it’s not always possible to go out into them. Another thing is important here. It attracts the opportunity to realize their bold fantasies, combine something, try something.

As for children's clothing, rework here will save a lot of money. And it’s easier to sew baby clothes.

We sew simple and bright models from old things. The photos of some of them presented in this article are proof of how interesting and practical this hobby is.
