A Quick Crimson Fix


I found this wonderful linen jacket at the thrift store--big deep hood, big deep pockets, very heavy fabric. But really bland.

So I cut off the big beige plastic buttons and replaced them with buttons I covered in crimson corduroy. Then stitched crimson velvet ribbon around the inside of the hood. Now we love it.

  3. You are so creative! I love what the extra touch of velvet does to things, makes something that is plain a little bit elegant. Merry CHRISTmas to you and your family!
