I need to become a better seamstress so I can salvage some much-loved pieces in this manner. In my 20s, I took an old hoodie and covered it in patches made out of the graphics from t-shirts I wore as a little kid. I still have the hoodie, but it's getting pretty threadbare itself. Ready for a third incarnation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reimagining-3-pieces-of-clothing#post-1877839 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 23:57:41 +0000 rachylou 1877839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super super interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reimagining-3-pieces-of-clothing#post-1877836 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 23:46:03 +0000 deb 1877836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn Slater from Accidental Icon posted about a garment she had made from three old pieces in her wardrobe.
