Reincarnated Sweater Scraps

I've got too many sweater scraps! So, the only thing to do is create! I've been working on an assortment that I thought would look good together for fall..and came up with this patched up coat. It turned out rather charming! Check etsy for all the pictures.

Vintage lace, crochet and Fringe Coat

I gathered a group of vintage crochet doilies, lace and pieces of vintage fringe and stitched them all over an oversize cotton chenille coat that I had made, then dyed it all in multi colors to create this charming one of a kind coat. It's way oversized purposelly so that anyone can wear it..wonderfully loose and comfortable on some..and less loose and drapey on some...but oh so soft and cuddly. Check out the listing on etsy.

Oversized Comfort Shirt

I was fortunate to find a stash of unbleached, organic cotton fabric that is so soft and cozy and makes the most comfortable, oversized big shirts. These seem to work best if they're large and loose..so that anyone can feel good in them. When you've had a hard day and need a hug, instead of comfort food, these work as comfort shirts..because they're so soft and cuddley and cozy and warm. They can be made in all sizes, but big and loose seems to work best. Check out the listing on etsy.

Patched Up Fall Jacket

With all the cutting and sewing around here, I've created lots and lots of scrap fabrics, so I gathered up a batch and thought they would work great for a new fall patched up jacket. Appliqued them all onto a sweatshirt fleece lining which was white and needed color, so I splattered painted it red to match the red patches. Check out my latest creation posted on etsy.
