  3. This is a great find! I like sweater coats, but there's no way that I'll ever knit one. But a coat made from recycled sweaters seems absolutely doable to me.

  5. I keep a list of all the patterns I use and the garments I sew way down on the bottom of my blog. Otherwise I would never remember what I made. 53 garments in a year really isn't that much when you consider 22 were mostly knit tops. Easy and quick projects.

  7. This woman's work is amazing. I could never wear something so extravagant, but I admire her energy and spirit...and how she sews!

    BTW, can I tell you again how much I loved your sweater refashion that I found the other day--80s sweater into wrap coat? I'm going to try my own TODAY!

    You rock.
