Warm and woolly for only £1

3:48 pm

I ran up these trousers today for Sid, they are upcycled from a wool dressing gown I bought in a charity shop for a whole £1.
Upcycled trousers
I made use of the pockets by cutting out each back panel to include them, and I added a cute lamington lane label just to finish them off.

And remembered a label
These should keep him cosy when we go to Cornwall in a weeks time. They have lots of growing room too, so will see him through a couple of winters.
I used the same pattern as for these trousers,but with a few adjustments.
I'll post modelled pics when he wears them, the light is already too poor here for good pics.

Don't be shy, say hello!

  2. What a great way of repurposing old for new. I have a stack of skirts and tops that need renewing.
