Read MoreI love to upcycle. When I started blogging almost four years ago, pretty much everything I made was an upcycle. I didn't have much money or fabric, but I had plenty of people willing to give me their bags bound for Goodwill. Over time, I've had the opportunity to work with fabric companies and earn money from my pattern designs to purchase new fabric, but I still have upcycling roots.

Read MoreSo here we are in week two: Refashioning. For me this was a WOHOOOO theme, for Becca it was more of an OhNoooooo. Most of what I make includes some form of upcycling or refashioning, I built my personal blog around the idea that I could sew my children's wardrobes and save my family some dough. My personal stash of fabric is made of 90% clothing, sheets, and drapes that have been given to be in garbage bags from friends and family. I use this stash to mine for not only fabric, but buttons, zippers, and other notions. Now Becca on the other hand has only tired a few refashioning projects, and in an effort to clean out her house, got rid of 5 bags of old clothes right before we found out we would be competing in this competition... wah-wah-wah.
