Cut-up Couture

A girl in my dress-making class leant me a Japanese pattern book of hers: Cut-Up Couture: Edgy Upcycled Garments to Sew by Koko Yamase.

I bought a man's XL sweatshirt, and my brother gave me a L shirt that doesn't fit him... and I've made myself an "interesting" jumper and a halter-neck top. Both quirky and wearable.
