Runway Deconstructed: #ChallengeCreate Refashion Entry, Explained

So 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.
