Time for a challenge! This week’s challenge is going to be so fun–who doesn’t love a great transformation? And when a DYI before & after involves clothing…well, that makes it even better!
We’ve already enjoyed a couple of amazing refashions this week from our guest tutorials. If you haven’t had a chance to check them out yet, you’ll want to get the 411 on this adoruffle Tee Shirt Refashion from Fireflies and Jellybeans
this multi-functional Interchangeable Flower Shirt from {Choose to Thrive}
and this sweet Bohemian Tank Dress from {This Crazy, Blessed Life}.

Thanks for the inspiration, ladies!
We are so looking forward to the additional inspiration that comes from all of your entries to this week’s challenge. We don’t know about you, but we’ve felt the purse strings tighten this spring with the rising cost of gas, groceries, and everything else! It’s great to be able to find fashionable new ways to make do with what we already have.
Joining us this week is our darling guest judge, Brittany Davis of Love Stitched.
Brittany will visit each one of your links, on a quest to find her 10 favorite projects and an overall winner of the Refashions Challenge!
This week, you have the opportunity to win $30 to spend at Frayed, our sponsor for the Refashions {Upcycled Clothing} Challenge.![]()
You’ll have the option of picking your favorite items designed and made by shop owner, Kellyn, if you win the random drawing. Just in time for Father’s Day, Kellyn has matching Father & Son ties!
Each project you enter into the challenge automatically qualifies you for the drawing. For more chances to win, go HERE. 
Please include a CSI Project button if you would like to win the giveaway or be featured as one of our favorites. Go HERE to get a button.
Here are the challenge rules:
1. All entries for this challenge need to incorporate the challenge’s theme.We are not simply a linky party. We have a specific theme for each week. All submissions are competing to be the judge’s top pick. If your project does not incorporate the theme we will have to remove it.
2. When you enter the challenge, please enter the link to the specific post on your blog that relates to the project — not to your general blog. This will help when a year from now, for example, someone who visits the site can find your project directly.
3. The CSI Project button must be in your blog post. HERE are the buttons. This makes it easy for other people to come over and join in the challenge if they like – and for us to know that we have the correct entry in the challenge when we’re judging. And if you use an older post, please update it so it’s current. If you don’t want to update it, please add the button to that post and to the sidebar for the week of the contest. Thanks!
4. The project you submit must be your own project and something you have made. (It can be inspired by something someone else has done, but it must be your creation.)
5. We ask that you are a CSI follower or subscriber to win the prizes.The more followers the site has — the more giveaways we are able to host
6. If you enter a project into our challenge, we ask that you please leave comments on at least 2 other entries in the contest. Not only is it nice to do, but it’s a great way to meet new people and make new friends.
7. By entering, you give us permission to spotlight your projects – we will give you credit and link back to your blog. You are welcome to enter as many themed projects as you like! You also give us permission to add your name to our newsletter list. If you wish to unsubscribe you may do so at any time.
Okay! Let’s see what you’ve been refashioning…..
