Kirstinflo: Vintage, Recycled Girls’ Jumpers
Photo by Kirstinflo at Etsy.com
Kirstinflo makes adorable little girls’ jumpers out of men’s button-down shirts salvaged from thrift stores—and sews them out of her bedroom in Astoria, Queens, no less. I love the little clues to the fabrics’ origins that you can still spy on the dresses: a Lacoste alligator stalking a pocket here, a Columbia Sportswear label peeking from a seam there. A new silhouette with a billowing skirt, coupled with coordinating rickrack running across the bodice, imbues these former workhorse togs with a soft, Laura Ingalls-esque femininity. Frontier chic, anyone? ($85, Etsy)
More things you can do with discarded men’s shirts: Turn them into scented sachets or an apron.
