The #REFEBULOUS challenge that was hosted on Instagram this month by fellow Knipster candidate (also justified winner!) Marlies inspired me to write this blog after all. The purpose of the challenge is to inspire each other to reuse, renew, refashion, repair, recycle, you name it.
During the Knipster competition the 4th theme was: Do it with Denim. From used jeans I made a cropped jeans jacket from BurdaStyle: pattern 02/2010 # 109.

Hey all! You may have seen that last year I had the opportunity to join a major Dutch online sewing competition. The competition is called ‘Knipster‘ which could be translated to something like cutting star. That title is derived from the name of the host ‘Knipmode’: one of the greatest sewing magazines in The Netherlands. The Knipster sewing competition emerged from a tailoring/sewing competition on TV. It was the second time Knipster was organized. From all the people that signed up, 7 candidates were selected to compete. Including me!
