It happened again – The Cottage Mama was published in the Fall 2011 Issue of Altered Couture Magazine! I’m so thrilled to be part of this wonderful publication for the second time and I have to admit, I don’t think I will ever get tired of seeing my work in print. This issue of the magazine is full of all sorts of tutorials and inspiration for altering your fall wardrobe. Oh, how I love fall!
In the fall issue I have three pieces that are featured……..
The first two pieces are combined into one article and they are my Shawl Collar Sweater and T-Shirt Shrug. Both of these are easy fall pieces that can be made for next to nothing and both in under an hour.
The third featured piece is a felted wool coat I made last year for my oldest daughter, Savannah Rose. The coat is made from several different felted wool sweaters as well as some felted wool yardage. My favorite things about this piece are the leaves and the little mushroom button. The coat will be too small for Savannah this year, but should be just right for Miss Matilda.
The fall issue of Altered Couture is on newsstands now, so if you love upcycled, recycled and repurposed fashions, I highly recommend you pick up the latest copy. This is a quarterly publication so it should be available for the next three months. Again, I’m so happy to be part of the Altered Couture family and I’m looking forward to sharing my winter piece with you in the next issue.
