The Harry's Chocolate Shop Sweatshirt

French terry is one of my favorite fabrics to wear. It’s comfortable. It’s cool (I’m normally cold). It's no wonder you see it all across the board. 

While other pieces are cut short and sweet, I moved the ribbed waistband half way up and added a peplum with open side slits. The icing of the cake? The long bar tacks gave it the finishing touch on the overlapped side seams. 

Fun fact: Out of curiosity, I researched Harry's Chocolate Shop and it does exist and has over a 100 years of history! Whaaa??! 

It started out as an ice-cream & soda fountain shop in 1919, then turned into a bar in the 30s. I'll leave you with more to discover here - https://www.harryschocolateshop.com/

Note: 
Upcycling is a way to elevate what is existing and give it a second life that’s more beautiful than the last. Every piece starts out as a treasure hunt with an imagination of what it could become. Although I may have specific ideas or designs assigned to every piece, it takes time to get it right with trial and error. That makes the process exciting and interesting as every piece is unique and one of a kind. 

With history and the essence of a past era, you may see stains or imperfections. They are just unique assets and a reminder that this was once well lived. Now go on and play in the sand, dance with wine glasses on your hands and leave traces of your own.
