    What a creative soul she is! It was so cool watching that serger in action. She had a nice stash of colorful sweaters. Very cool.

    ‘Awesome’ is an overused word, but in this case it truly applies! Love it.

    Loved this! I so wish I had this eye for seeing what could be used for what. I also got a special giggle out of watching her scissors travel down her table as her machine rumbled – hahaha! (Ok, so I get a little distracted!) Thanks for sharing this – thanks to your blog you might have me changing the way I think about my old clothes!

    I saw her in a magazine article about 4 months ago. The article featured these sweaters. They were all absolutely beautiful. I so want to make one for myself. Got a whole bag of sweaters, but sadly they sit in a closet. I really enjoyed the video.

      Hi Kim, I hope you get those sweaters out of the closet and start snipping away at them soon. They are all wishing to have a new life. Perhaps tackling a smaller project with one of them would spur you on. Thanks for visiting. Hope you’ll come back again soon and show me what you made.
      Happy sewing!
