Keep on Scrolling as Gigi has cleaned out three closets
and has a dozen winter coats and jackets that she needs to rehome.

If you an Elementary Teacher with Playground duty,
You may appreciate having either of these red coats at school

Last, but not Least,
Handmade Jacket from a Frostline Kit

Frostline was a Colorado based company founded in the late 60s.
When I started teaching in 1978, I was passionate about
 sharing my love of Clothing Construction.

My students ordered kits for all styles of outdoor gear.
The pkg included everything they needed,
 fabrics, thread, zippers, snaps, and the down filling.
Does anyone else remember?

Check this out…
My jacket, like this one, sells for $65 on Poshmark
and $85 on Etsy.
Who knew?!
