Brought to You by the Letter S. Yes, another red jumper! This size 22-24 sweatshirt had a rather ugly motif embroidered on the front. Again, this was 4.99 from Age UK in Orpington. It clearly had not been worn; the tags were still on it, claiming its original price was 17. Obviously, the motif had to go.

Now, I know there are probably easier ways of doing this, but this is what I did.

Exploring The Brave New World of Bare Midriffs. I’m back with another monstrosity-turned-masterpiece for your viewing pleasure. I bought this Cambridge-blue (Tiffany-blue? Polyester/viscose top in the Scope shop in Lewisham, a while back when they were having a sale. It was 2.00 (reduced from 3.95). Score! Like the magpie I am, I had totally fallen for the silver-coloured beading on the front yoke. Delightful! After rather a lot of work, the whole thing had come off. The two hems looked neat enough!
