Just Like That, I am Back

 If I said I was back, would you believe me? Blogging is complicated, and there are so many "get rich quick" blogging schemes that make it look like you are a lost cause if you are not currently earning money blogging.

For those of you who are not familiar with Wardrobe Refashion here is the pledge.... The Pledge I __________________ pledge that I shall abstain from the purchase of "new" manufactured items of clothing, for the period of 2 / 4 / 6 months. I pledge that i shall refashion, renovate, recycle preloved items for myself with my own hands in fabric, yarn or other medium for the term of my contract. I pledge that I will share the love and post a photo of my refashioned, renovoted, recycled, crafted or created item of clothing on the Wardrobe Refashion blog, so that others may share the joy that thy thriftiness brings!

It all starts on January 1st.  Are you going to take the pledge?

Okay so it probably needed a little extra room pre-baby too, but lets not talk about that ;). I am just figuring out how to refashion it. I was thinking of adding some ruffles, or rosettes made from the scarf, but I am not quite sure. Well This is the first official refasion for the blog so I will keep you posted on what I actually do decide to do.
