Some highlights from the ongoing household mending piles:

Problem: “This shirt is too scratchy! No, it’s pretty, you can’t give it away!”

Problem: too many short sleeves, not enough long sleeves, plus a child who has decided to chew thumb holes into longer sleeves that haven’t got them already.

Problem: too many t-shirts, not enough cute dresses (especially that protect the back of my shoulders from getting sunburnt!)

Problem: sparks burnt tiny holes in my silly reclaimed dress/tunic.

Problem: my husband is very hard on jeans…

Your creativity is amazing! Repurposing old clothes into something new is such a great way to breathe life into forgotten pieces. Can’t wait to see how your project turns out, keep up the awesome work! Do yo make any dresses for pear shape body, It's the only thing that fits me well.
