I'm a big fan of refashioning, redying, and generally remaking clothing. (Otherwise known as altering to hide rips and redyeing to hide stains.) I'm always looking at cool projects and trying to figure out what I want to try next.
But sometimes...oh, man sometimes....I just don't get it.
Sometimes it's a matter of style. I don't like fussy bows on the necks of things and never have. Not a huge fan of embroidering, so the embroidery projects are pretty much out. Sometimes I'll look at something and go wow, the skirt's too short for me or you'd definitely need a bra to wear that one so I'm unlikely to make something similar for myself.
Sometimes, it's a ...WTF.
Dresses made out of old records, high couture made out of TP or newsprint....not only is it impractical it can't really be worn by anyone, ever, and will disintegrate in a matter of months. I just don't understand the point.
I've made a bunch of missteps in my remakes--I get too ambitious and get something and there's no real way to alter it to fit me, or I get too ambitious for the time that I have TO make things. But I can't imagine spending the hours and hours and hours on a project that won't last through one good rainstorm, and you can't even eat it.
No particular point to this, just a WTF?
