Camping Jackets @ Breckenridge, 5.30pm
Take an otherwise unused item and make it useful again! Old sleeping bags have such great character and usable “parts”. Together, we will turn your old sleeping bag into a puff coat you can use in the colder weather. This different “format” for your old sleeping bag will make it feel “new” but is also practical. This project is called The Camping Jacket or Coleman Sacks (when made with a Coleman Sleeping Bag).
Bring your own sleeping bag or purchase one of ours for $10. Old comforters can also be used instead.

Ski resorts are bustling with activity as they prepare for the upcoming season, while early-bird skiers and snowboarders eagerly hit the slopes, enjoying the fresh powder.
