Upcycled: Cardigan to Strawberries and more
From the Blog ummeyusufThe little hand-me-down cardigan was worn by at least five little girls, including three of mine, mashaAllah, over the past decade. The tag on it, indicates it was originally a 18 month size, but with innumerable washes over the years, it shrank and felted to be a six month size. It also got misshapen. So, when I needed some red felt for a project, it was time for this cardigan to be sacrificed. And some time later, I had a little strawberry pincushion. (Picture tutorial pinned on my pinterest board here.) And because the little strawberry was ridiculously easy to make and cute, I made another.

His comments regarding PTI leader Shireen Mazari were exceptionally crude. Hussain later apologised to Dr Mazari; his apology was accepted by the latter. We often say that the South Asian culture is very respectful towards women but that is not necessarily the case.
