Hmmm, somehow this picture got lost from the original post.
Here 'tis, the infamous tree sweatshirt.

Yay!

Hi! The sky and weather have been amazing today. Spring is coming, which means it's time to revamp the spring clothes. Err, so maybe this is a year round sweatshirt for me, but...anyway.

I've had this sweatshirt since a thrift store run with housemates in college. It started out a pale yellow. That was the first thing to go...Lindsay was dyeing some clothes and had a little extra space, so in it went. Now it's a light nutty color.

Then it got some kinda gross stains on the front, and started to look a little scrubby, so I ironed on this nice 'C' that I found in a thrift store in highschool. Everyone thinks the 'C' is really meaningful and must have some meaning, but it's just a bid to distract from the dreariness of a much beloved sweatshirt.

Then the stainage got worse on the front, and in a last ditch effort to save the beloved thing, I sewed a giant, leaning, tree on the front.  Big distractions for big stains!

But recently the sleeves have gotten just completely out of control:



I tend to be a slobby girl, but even I have my limits.  For a while I stuck it in the back of my closet, but I missed my sweatshirt.  It's just the only one like it!

Then a few days ago I was rootin' and tootin' in some of my crafty boxes, and out popped a long lost treasure--ready to sew knitted cuffs! In just the right color to match my tree!  The craft planets were alighned.  

So here it is, once again new and improved!
