It’s your Shrug so use your imagination.

Be creative, be bold! That is the mantra when it comes to fashion and this is how we want you to be. When you are making the shrug choose a fabric that not only will keep you warm but will also make a statement.

Pick accessories and embellishments that are bold. We have added a nice fabric flower to enhance the shrug we made. You are free to do whatever you want. Use giant buttons, add patches of your favourite sports teams, put mirrors and tinsel, there is no limit to what you can do. Remember this is your shrug so you should make it as unique as you are.
What you do need to take care about is the finish. And this is where your sewing skills will matter. Sew as fast or slow, as you are comfortable with. The rains are still some time away so there is no hurry.
