When she and Jade Mellor opened their fab shop Melfed in Cardigan last year, with Jade's delicious foraged foods & Carys's wonderful garments , (also see their Facebook page) I won a raffle prize at their opening to spend a day on one of Carys's upcycling courses there, turning old jerseys into a tunic dress ...
Well I ended up finishing the garment at home, and the skills I expanded that day came in very handy for making the costumes I wrote about on my previous post ....
I hadn't photographed it, but Pete was playing with my phone today .. and here is the record of what happened when a tibetan jacket I bought in Darjeeling nearly 30 years ago met a jersey I have had a long time too ...
I so recommend cutting up those clothes you no longer wear :-) This is so much more fun, feels like new, and the old clothes aren't wasted .. win win.
Have a go , or ask me and I will enjoy doing it for you ....
