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.
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.
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.

These are brilliant! How inspiring. Love the funky label! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way of repurposing old for new. I have a stack of skirts and tops that need renewing.
