Скачать или смотреть Designer Patchwork Knitwear from Aran Sweaters (Runway Ready DIY)

Inspired by Game of Wool Semi-Finals? We took the challenge of turning cast-off sweaters into high-fashion knitwear before the show! Learn how to transform an old Aran Jumper (like the contestants) into a runway-ready statement piece. This is the ultimate "cozy to couture" upcycle.

🧵 Here, you’re part of the process:
– We design fashion in real time (no filters, no gatekeeping)
– We turn upcycled and unconventional materials turned into wearable art
– We explore soft sculpture, fiber-based art, and live with two extremely judgmental cats 🐾
– We chase DIY couture energy, not perfection
– We learn by doing, and sometimes totally messing up, together

✨ So if you're into bold ideas, sustainable design, or figuring it out as you go… welcome. You’re in the right place.
