old into new...

i love to repurpose!

~~~

i love it because i can

recycle something i already have

and repurpose it

into something no one else will have like it!

~~~

this is a purse i made from

a skirt, belt, and barrette of my daughter's.

i sewed up the bottom and tied on the belt.

the barrette is sewn on for decoration.

i love it!
~~~

this is a backpack i made my daughter

out of a pair of jeans and a pocket.

so fun and easy to make

and best of all...

no one else has one like it!

it's a one of a kind!
~~~

this blue jean purse is made from

a skirt, belt,

and decorative pieces from another pair

of my daughter's jeans.

i put a magnetic closure in the inside of these bigger purses.

the pink bag is made from

an old chenille bedspread.

i love the fringe!

~~~
i love red and i love wool
and i love this bag!
~~~
this bag is made
from a red wool sweater of mine
that i felted.
the bottom of the sweater is the top of the bag.
the handles of the bag
are made from the sleeves of the sweater.
i sewed the handles on
using the buttons
and then reinforced them
near the top edge of the bag.
~~~
i repurpose fabric
from many different household
(sheets, bedspreads, curtains)
and clothing
(tops, sweaters, jeans)
items.
i love the look and the feel
i get when i use fabric
that has already been
worn, washed, and loved!
~~~
i feel like i make something old new again
when i repurpose,
and that's a good feeling!
