Refashion Handbook

Take secondhand finds from frumpy to fabulous with this guide by the Renegade Seamstress featuring resizing techniques and 19 refashioning projects.

With her award-winning blog, The Renegade Seamstress, Beth Huntington combines two of her favorite activities—thrifting and sewing—into the art of refashioning. In The Refashion Handbook, she shares 19 stylish projects, each showing you how to transform easy-to-find items into a better fit, a new design, or a radical makeover.

Learn the basics of refashioning: how to measure, reshape, fit, and finish a garment, so it fits you perfectly. Plus size? Petite? No problem! Beth's designs flatter a wide variety of sizes and body types. Her easy techniques are perfect for beginners and even experienced sewists will appreciated her clever tips and tricks.
