I love looking at all of the creative ways to recon clothes. When something ugly is turned into something cute and wearable, it is just wonderful!
So, on this thread, I am going to feature some of the things I spotted that I think are worth an extra look!
Keeping checking for updates--your item might show up here!

Whether you keep these for yourself or give them as gifts, handmade mittens and hats are welcomed by everyone living in cold country! I am impressed by the details and fine finishing as well...I mean, lined? That is the ultimate in warmth and comfort! Check out this awesome project!

I have always loved the Gibbous look, even before I knew what it was called! There is something about taking a bunch of fabrics, mixing colors, textures and patterns to make clothing...this is a lovely example of function and beauty--and I am impressed with the amount of work and craftsmanship that went into this....look at all the details!

If you hate dishwashing, then use up all of your rubber gloves to make them into a creative artsy dress!
I know most people can't really wear this, but it just struck me as being totally creative and out of unusual materials. I love it! (2/22/10)

http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=187829.msg1969399;topicseen#msg1969399I am not a fan of bib overalls on women (sorry, but they are shapeless and just are not that feminine- looking and they just look way too farmerish for my taste..)BUT...leave it to violentjane to make a cute and fun dress in a short time...now, this is more like it and has changed my view on bibs!(7/9/2007)

http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=158201.new#newThis recon is good for a lot of reasons: lots of items were used, action shots were terrific, Maxine (the dressform is just too cool!), and of course, the finished project. I really enjoyed this post! (02/18/2007)
