I think it’s lovely to thrift something handmade and alter it. That way new life is breathed into it and it’s even more personal! And isn’t it a nice thought to have collaborated on a handmade garment with a stranger?

Cute! I cannot believe I never thought of adding pearls to a sweater. It’s so easy and really elevates the piece.

Beautiful project Lauren. As always, you did a fabulous job. I kept thinking that once you placed the beads down to where you liked them, that a dot of washable marker to designate location would be my go-to.
