before and after: cashmere leggings

I always intend to make more of my own wardrobe, and am pretty pleased with how many dresses I made and wore last year!  Why stop at the warm months?

My mom sent me some of her old sweaters, I believe these were cashmere sweaters from Costco, too boxy.  I don't usually break out the legging-layering until February in Chicago, but we've hit so many below freezing days already this Winter, it's necessary.

I used the bodies of these two sweaters and still have the sleeves left!

Silkscreening joy

I can't tell you how happy I am to be printing so much again this past year. Designing and sewing my dresses goes to another level when I am able to also enhance the graphic quality of my thrifted, found knits.
