How can I repurpose this clothing that I don't wear anymore?

Question

I love the material but I'm not sure what I can make out of it. The picture doesn't do them  justice.

Marknmary · Answer

The sequin skirt might be use as a pillow cover? The mesh tank could be made into a grocery bag?

Cvmarin · Answer

Of same mind!  Chic stretchy grocery bag with mesh, cute cushion with sequin cloth, or fun gym bag.

Irene · Answer

Although sequins do shed, it is possible to cut shapes from the garment to embellish a T-shirt. Bling a denium jacket or a pair of jeans.

Vee · Answer

you can make sequin vest and a matching purse. wear with black t shirt and pants or skirt. Jazz it up!!!

Vee · Answer

you can even make a tank top and wear with pencil skirt or jeans

Christina · Answer

My first thought was to make a purse/handbag with the pink sequins top and to use the mesh top as a grocery/beach bag. Not sure what your sewing skills are, but you could take a strip of either and add a decorative edge to a shirt, pants, shorts, or skirt. Actually you could use strips to decorate pretty much anything. You could use the pink one to make a book cover or a cover for a kindle or some other device like that. I have tons others that sound weird when I type it, but looks cute when I picture it in my head! lol

Sandra · Answer

I agree about the gray tank. You don't even have to sew it at the bottom. Make a knot,  makes a great little bag to roll up and keep in your purse.

Sandra · Answer

If your bedroom needs a punch of color, you could make the sequined top into a throw pillow cover.

Lori · Answer

The mesh one would be nice over another, say, white  pillow.  It reminds me of fish net, could you use it somehow in a sea setting, with shells or fishing theme?  Over a lamp shade?

You could make an amazing sequin cushion! Or you could make a shopping bag out of the net style top. A little like a crochet/mesh shopping bag :)

Claire - Heart Handmadeuk · Answer

You could also make some sequin placemats for your table out of the sequin top! Ruffled blog have a great tutorial -- http://ruffledblog.com/diy-sequin-placemats/

Kaye · Answer

Frame the blouse shadowbox style !

Audrey Trubshaw · Answer

Cut it up and make a scarf to wear with something else.

Cindy Broadbent · Answer

I have a gold sparkly top that I will never fit into again. I have a ceramic type picture frame with a 2-inch border. I was thinking of using spray adhesive to make a sparkly picture frame for my (kind of) over-the-top, anything goes (terra cotta/black/turquoise/gold French flavor) half bath.

Ann · Answer

How about cutting strips fold face to face and stitch. Make long strips. Turn right side out. Make three long strips. Braid to make a very fashionable belt.

Henrietta · Answer

would make beautiful headbands, or small purses as gifts

Cyndie S · Answer

Make a pillow with the pink sequinned top and a tote bag with the mesh top.

Tamara K · Answer

How about a really cool pillow or set of pillows? Layer the sparkly skirt under the mesh shirt?

Connie Phillips · Answer

What a timely subject. I was just about ready to throw out a sequin dress that was attacked by a vacuum cleaner. Sad story now has a happy ending. Small purses, headbands, pillows coming right up!(it was a long dress)

You could hang the netting on the wall with seashells or drape it from your window.

And the mesh shirt as a holder for plastic bags

Mogie · Answer

This would make a great halloween custome with a few tweaks. Most little girls would love to dress up as a princess.

Johnavallance82 · Answer

Evening Purse? Accent Cushion for Bed ? Light or Lampshade?

Mogie · Answer

Bet there are some little girls that would love to dress up like big girls.

Johnavallance82 · Answer

I would slip the string type one over the pink one and make a cushion or maybe a hat wigh the pink one and a Snood from the stringy one.

Janice · Answer

Use the fabric to make designs on other clothing or pillows. Perhaps a heart or star shape or even square or think strips for color blocking on throw pillows.
