I absolutely love repurposed projects. There’s something so satisfying about finding a new life for something old and unwanted. I enjoy the creative challenge of finding new uses for old items. I’ve recently realized that finding new uses for beautiful sweaters has become addictive for me. But instead of fighting it, I’ve decided to embrace the beauty of creating upcycled sweater projects.
