Giving My Clothes a Makeover // Alterations, Acidic Dyes, and a Thrift Flip

We all know I don't exactly love thrift flipping garments, but after my recent closet clear out, there was a small selection of items left that simply needed small tweaks before they could spark enough joy again to stay. So today I have the results of my experiments with overdyeing, fixing some sleeves, and sewing with my (least)favorite fabric to show you all how I transformed a few pieces to work better for me and my closet.
