Memories

Many, many years ago I was a student.

Eventually, about a year ago, I finally decided that, as they were no longer really wearable, they had done their time and I finally had to retire my hoodies from both CathSoc and Free Church Society (my ecumenical credentials, which are such an important part of my faith identity, date, really, to my experiences at Lancaster Chaplaincy). 

I associate them with precious memories and valued friendships from my Lancaster days, and, having worn them in season and out, from many other happy times since.

I was loathe to throw them away.

This week, I turned them into cushion covers and gave them a new life. 

I haven't been very creative recently, and I am definitely not a sewing expert, but I am quite pleased with the outcome of this latest mini project.
