I’m Sheri Pavlović, the DIY diva & author behind the book series, channel & blog Confessions of a Refashionista, the fabulous eco-friendly corner of the internet packed with step-by-step upcycling tutorials for everything from groovy clothing & accessories to funky home decor + a healthy dose of affordable sustainable lifestyle inspiration!
I absolutely adore transforming old into new and sharing my adventures in upcycling with you! I’m Canadian but lived a most extraordinary existence in North America, Japan, England, Greece & Germany before finally ending up in Toronto after over 20 years spent living & working abroad in the DIY, Fashion, Publishing, Education & Entertainment industries .
My personal definition of a Refashionista? A kick ass DIY eco-fashion & décor upcycling warrior who firmly believes that fab, affordable, unique style can be achieved by anyone without supporting the phenomenon of cheap, unethically produced products & fashion.
Join Refashion Nation!

Do you want to encourage others to join the groovy world of refashioning & thrifting?
Become a contributor to Refashion Nation & help create an inspirational resource of links to upcycled DIY clothing & accessory tutorials + thrifty outfit ideas for those wanting fabulous, affordable, unique style without supporting the growing phenomenon of cheap, mass produced “fast fashion”…

– A showcase of dingy, badly lit photographs
Posting guidelines:
– Please ensure that the blogger whose post you are planning to feature does not forbid the republishing of their photograph or a link to the original post. (this information, if available, is usually found on the “about” page, blog sidebar or the end of a post)
– Each uploaded post must contain a clever title containing the maker/thrifty fashionista’s name, a snappy one line description, link to the original post & a single oh-so-awesome photo (it will always be © credited to the blog/photographer of origin)
– Uploaded contributor posts must be saved as drafts – only the curator of Refashion Nation may publish posts
