Outfit Repeater
If you like thrifty fashion and sewing shenanigans, you're in the right place.
My name is Melody; I'm an avid sewist, maker-of-things, and lifelong theatre kid who never outgrew playing dress-up. I love being able to take something old (whether I already own it or found it at the thrift store) and turn it into something new; that goes for my wardrobe as well. You can expect to find thrift-flips, styling experiments, costume creation, and other creative projects on this page. Let's wear our dang clothes, and sew that dang fabric stash!
