Some real up-cycles from shirts and suits (from my sewing board on Pinterest)

Even the high st is now try to get in on the upcycling look.

Dress made to look like it was made from a shirt.    Doesnt look as good as the real thing though.

Skirt from a jacket

Had bought  some ultra light compact 90% Down me'ns jackets on sale XS for me and XL for J for 30% off as well as the last one in store, L blue with a zip that has puller tab missing but works, for 60% off.  The ere very soft and light, warm enough and thin enough to wear under a coat etc that may have not been warm enough for the coldest days.   I had seen down quilted skirts in Muji a few years ago and wish I had gotten one as the longer seem to be around.  Following on from my collection of Pins on Pinterest of people making dresses etc from mens shirts and jackets, I,thought up this idea of skirts from jackets.

The black XS is a bit short for me.  The blue, tho I dont love colour is a better length.  Js black XL gives a bit more gather.  sleeves can either be tied into a bow or hanging down.

Mittens project

being lazy and using screen grabs of facebook post, hency doubling of images to fit in the text.

UPDATE

Went ahead and did left thumb since am left handed.  Won't do right thumb as i like the asymmetry, the utility look of it.  I've also started blanket stitching the seems.
