Learn to re-purpose your clothes

 Day 11 of the Sustainable Fashion Challenge is a fun one!  I love to re-purpose.  I've made container gardens out of worn out reusable shopping bags, pillows from old flour sacks, wine bags from old plaid shirts and even unraveled a sweater to reuse the yarn!  Right now I'm really into t-shirt cutting/mixing up.  Here's a work in progress making a new shirt to wear to the upcoming concert using 2 old U2 concert tour shirts (instructions to come after I finish it...  still pondering more updates!).

    Jen is...

    ...an adventurous spirit from Milwaukee, Wisconsin that still cannot believe she has become "Southern" as life in North Carolina now has made 70 degree days "jacket weather".   

    Possibly banned from the home state by repeatedly saying that North Carolina beer is some of the best in the world. 

    Despite a huge fear of commitment, married their best friend after buying and remodeling a 700 square foot home.  Adopted 2 energetic dogs in that tiny home of many projects .  Chance & Daisy, who also enjoy their aging days in a home twice the size with their own pool in the back yard and access to a nice neighbor's big wooded yard full of squirrels and other random wildlife.

    Lucky enough to be employed 20+ years in the apparel industry working with some awesome people on many big and small brands.  Thankful for all the amazing places this career has taken me to and all the interesting people it's brought into my life.

    Full of hobbies including thrifting, yoga, hot sauce and international sweet treats. 

    Pictured in a place my dreams are made of, a Thai sweet shop in Ayutthaya that some amazing coworkers took me to on a day off.
