Wardrobe Refashioning for the Bean
As I mentioned earlier, I had fun at the thrift store yesterday… I bought 3 wool sweaters to make soaker longies for the Bean. typically, at least for me, things did NOT go as planned. I started with this sweater, and cut the arms/neck off to make into pants… I refused to photograph the 3 […]
