Clothing Reconstruction
Since highschool, I have had a love and fascination with clothing reconstruction. I often tweak little thinks (nothing really drastic) on clothes I buy, to make them fit better or improve the look. So when I saw an idea on the web to make kids pants out of T-shirts, I thought of this old sweater I had in my sewing drawer that BJ didn't want any more. I thought it was just the thing to use. After I made the pants, I saw what remained of the sweater and thought I could easily turn it into a mini-sweater for baby! The neck was a problem- way too big for a small head, so I added the button with an interesting result. Anyway, I realized that this was actually the first thing I have made for Gabe. I think I'll definitely be making more stuff that way.
