I Made a Jacket From Thrift Store Finds!

A couple of months ago, I decided that I was going to make a jacket out of a bleach stained holey shirt and pillow case that I got from the goodwill outlet.
My goal was to take discarded items and put them together in a meaningful way, to create something beautiful that I could treasure forever (Which is why I decided to add the bead bling).
I had an idea of what I wanted to create, but I had absolutely no instructions for how to do so, so I had to figure everything out as I went along.
This meant that I had to do almost every single thing at least twice before I got it right. It was quite a learning experience.
A lot of love and a fair amount of profanity went into the creation of this jacket.
Hi, I’m Kristen!
I envision a world where you and I rediscover what it is to be human, through connection with ourselves, each other and the natural world around us.
