Oh Brother, I want to start The Sweater Chop Shop!
So, all of you know i’m a huge DIY fan- in fact I have a few projects I need to post for you today that have been done recently.
REGARDLESS…
I am getting the ultimate in awesome. Hopefully this one- I’m keeping my fingers crossed but it will definitely be one from the Project Runway Line!
“Sewing and DIY projects are not your grandmother’s hobby anymore—the machines and the trends in the sewing industry have come a long way since then. Sewing is back in fashion as garment construction, up-cycling clothing, and reconstruction are all popular trends these days. Due to popular reality sewing shows, like ‘Project Runway’, people are more interested in learning the craft, and with Brother’s technology advanced machines, it’s easier than ever before.”
This guy is gracing my presence.

“Crispina’s blankets and throws and rugs are piled on and over each other on my beds, chairs, couches and floors. She’s a great artist who understands texture and how it adds individuality and comfort to a home, not to mention a car, or an old refurbished orange truck seat!!” — Carly Simon
“Crispina makes the most beautiful soulful blankets, pillows, and sweaters, out of people’s old sweaters. In this amazing and magical book she shares her secrets so that you can do it too.”
— Ben Cohen, cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s Homemade
You can create everything from blankets, to new items of clothing all from recycled sweaters you know how I am about recycling. A trip to Goodwill is in order- I think pillows for the Man Pit and curtains for random places in the house are in order. I’m stoked.
Though you don’t need a machine to do everything in The Sweater Chop Shop I’m stoked to use my new one. I can barely contain myself.
