What do you do with a thrifted Brand new size 2X cozy sweatshirt that has advertising on it? Cover it up! This sweatshirt just went from drab and unforgettable, too unbelievably beautiful.

When a thrifted denim jacket, some scraps of men’s shirt and a few purchased calico prints becomes a star! This garment was born from transforming pre-loved clothing into wearable art! The best part, these textiles were diverted from a landfill.

In my mind this Duster was going to be great! I love when your image in mind comes out so much lovelier! OMG! Fall needs to get here quickly, this is the prefect light jacket for those fall days. I’ll work on getting it listed in my Etsy shop.

The first cut is the scariest! In my mind this will be amazing when it’s done. Check back in for the reveal!

Today’s project was an Up-cycle, took 2 mens shirts and made a ladies high-low coat. The last picture is what was left of the two shirts that I didn’t use. They will go into my scrap bin for later use, so I call this a win on saving 2 items that could have wound up in a landfill. Saving the environment one up-cycle at a time.
