Your little snow angel has long johns, scarves, and mittens up the wazoo. It’s time for other apparel to make the cut.
Turn to PoppySeed Tees, the crafty creations of Chestnut Hill-based designer Jo Dillon. She’s a whiz with scissors, slicing recycled T-shirts into fun shapes and appliqueing them to onesies, tees, and hoodies. The hand-sewn, cartoon-like designs include lambs, lions, cupcakes, and even Santa hats and snowflakes.
Got a special design or color scheme in mind? Dillon will happily do a custom creation.
