Children’s Weekend 2018: From a Shirt to Pants Workshop
Old clothing gets new life in the form of adorable kidswear. A shirt becomes a dress, a cardigan turns into mittens, and a T-shirt into a beanie. During the workshop, parents can bring one of their own clothes to Linnea and see at the end of the day what kind of new item it has magically become for their child. You can also stay and watch her work.
