It seems like only weeks ago that i was adapting jackets for chilly mornings and evenings... and already the midnight heatwaves are upon us. Shaberdash needs to get on the spring/summer tip.
First things first. Take those nasty pockets off the baggy camo combats and shape them up. In the process of doing that I figured why not put those old pockets to use - they're so big and well-constructed.
Putting them back to back with some extra off-cut linen makes a handy bag for trips to the beach. The pocket flaps can also be joined to create a versatile press stud lid to the bag. For a strap I dug out a bargain basement tie from River Island in what appears to be a black on blue baby leopard print.
I'll leave the shorts for later.
Welcome to Shaberdash and the Outcasts! Shaberdashery is the art of turning shabby outcasts into objets du jour using creative haberdashery and low-fi DIY. Basically, re-think, re-use and recycle without the bad emmissions.
