13th September 2017

Drumroll….welcome back to last year’s winner Estelle!! (Who can forget that work of art!) This year she’s turned her talents to our suit theme and created this awesome bomber!The Refashioners 2017 - Estelle (1)

Featuring an on point pussy bow neckline…The Refashioners 2017 - Estelle (1)

By retaining many of the original features (like welt and breast pockets and button cuffs) but adding new features like chunky snaps and contrast hem and cuff bands…The Refashioners 2017 - Estelle (1)

  • On Facebook: There is a community board here where you can post your makes (You will need to request an invite to join)

Only entries shared via the above 2 methods will be entered into the competition. Closing date for entries is 31st October 2017 Midnight GMT.

Good luck!!! Get refashioning.

Oh and by the way…The Refashioners is going on the road this November!! If you fancy attending our very first “in person” workshop in London on 4th November….full deets here!!
