However, when she traveled in Japan wearing her boro vest everyone assumed she was very poor.<br /><br />I loved my patched and embroidered jeans back in the 60's, cutting apart jeans and making them into skirts all worn with my ankle boots. Of course this was not allowed in school at that time, only skirts with "stockings" were part of the dress code.<br /><br />Happy Sewing, I enjoy seeing your inventive ideasKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430521425239584348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-74396897971202213042013-02-14T10:14:43.803-05:002013-02-14T10:14:43.803-05:00These look so inviting--great idea, I agree!
