I can't remember when exactly I bought these shorts. But I do know for sure that it was more than 10 years ago, as you can see in the picture below. And that they have been my faithful summer friend ever since, that's a given fact as well.
A lost spark burned a hole in this nylon body warmer, not only causing a very ugly spot on its back, but also allowing the inside fluff to escape.
By trying to rub off a dark stain on these trousers, an unwanted lighter eyecatcher took its place. But by adding a nice sashiko pattern with some yarn in the same colour, I upcycled these trousers into a very much wanted eyecatcher.
