- Lots of great DIY t-shirt projects on this blog – love this one though I wouldn’t cut the stripes as widely if you don’t want your bra-straps showing.
- Turn a long sleeve tee into a cardigan
- Make and infinity scarf from an old tee
- Create a cute open-backed sweater from a boxy old jumper
- Make a kimono
- Turn your old baggy pants into skinny ones
- Turn a polo shirt into a skirt
- Use braiding to make an oversized shirt fit
And on other topics:
- I love this post on how a capsule wardrobe may not be for everyone (I know it’s definitely not for me as I like more options and am an emotional dresser).
- Find out what Debbie discovered about her style, shopping and wardrobe habits from going to a clothing swap.
- One of my fabulous image consulting graduates Sue shares her tips on practical dressing for mums.

Dear Imogen,
During the last few days I’ve been studying your posts on vertical body proportions and “where to end a tunic” to help me figure out how much to shorten a too-long tunic and am feeling confident now about how it looks. I’m also thinking that you should get a doctorate for all your research and writing and presentation, never mind an award for philanthropy, to add to your list of awards and achievements – big thanks!

Oh no. I’m literally cleaning out my closet right now. We’re loading up the car to go donate 4 large bags of stuff.
Now I have to bring it all back in to refashion!!!
Seriously, though. I love your blog and videos.
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for including my clothing swap story in your weekend reading list, Imogen. It’s interesting how what I thought would be a pretty benign experience led to some powerful realizations. I hope your readers like my post and I look forward to reading some of the other articles you have linked to.
