Rags 2 Modesty

2Corinthians 3:18
And we all, as with unveiled face we see as in a mirror the esteem of YHVH, are being
 transformed into the same likeness from esteem to esteem, as from YHVH, the Spirit.

How thankful I am that our Father has given me a creative gift to use for His Glory. 
Over a year ago Suzanne introduced me to making skirts from pants. Since then I’ve probably 
made over 30 to give away and Bless others. What started out as doing something nice for 
someone has turned into a “Modesty” ministry, an open door for teaching about 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. 
Our life is truly not our own and we are bought with a price. As women weather young or old 
we will stand before judgment to answer if we have been a stumbling block for our brother. 

  No scrap of material is safe in my hands! I’ve discovered that both young and old
are willing to trade in their jeans(holes and all) for a recycled skirt.

Shh…this one is made from a pair of Christopher’s shorts that I got tired of fixing!

An old pair of jeans has become a beautiful full “hip” skirt.

Had to try my hand at embroidery after watching a sister and 
decided it made a really nice patch for a torn skirt.

Hmm…this seems to be inspired from my “Tree of Righteousness Shawl.”

Reina and Selena each gave me a pair of jeans to make a skirt with and a matching head covering. 
They do look beautiful don’t they?

And of course their Mom Mayra didn’t want to be left out.

This skirt was a trade with a young lady whose skirts were a little too short! 
She was quite happy with this one and has asked me to make her another one.

After making several for Mayra and her girls I told her it was time she learned to make her own skirts.
 She did a beautiful job.

Check out the beautiful embroidery on this denim skirt. This is not store bought. 
A very beloved sister in Panama did this for me after I recycled several of her and her daughters skirts.

Although it’s hard to see, this is a top someone had given us with a couple a small stains on it. I just embroidered some cute little flowers on top of them.

These black bermudas are my latest project for a young lady.

As a worn out old pair of jeans are transformed into something new, creative and useable, 
we pray that the lives of each one of these ladies, both young and old, 
will transformed and conformed to our Creator’s as well.

Romans 12:2
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Elohim.

Titus 2:3-5
The older women likewise are to be set-apart in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of what is good, in order for them to train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, blameless, workers at home, good, subject to their own husbands, in order that the word of Elohim is not evil spoken of.
