Kid's Lika Sweatshirt

I wanted to create a piece that is almost costume like... fun but everyday wearable. And with a magic wand, here it is! An upcycled kids sweatshirt piece with puff sleeves, elasticated waist on side seams and fabric scraps were used to embellish the neckline, as wings patches and glittery wind. Yup, shimmery wind flowing underneath the wings. 

Kids Size: 7/8 year old

Note: 
Upcycling is a way to elevate what is existing / abandoned 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.
