Up-cycling fabrics
In our hot and humid climate, jeans are not big movers in our op shop. We had a $1 a pair sale rack, and still have full racks..... so I decided to make up a few different bags to see if we can somehow save these items from landfill. Re-fashioning those items into something useful. I made a few variations just to try out the market and sold this one on the first day they were put out! Each one is individual, depending on what fabric I have available. I tend to lay things out, and then just play around a bit. Here I am laying out all the options before I start sewing. I have joined a facebook group which is so inspirational and supportive. Up-Cycled Cloth Collective | Facebook So often, it is just a case of seeing what is there, and then using it in the best way possible. I was excited to find this tote bag, which was perfect as the lining of a bag for a teenager. this was also snapped up quickly. The bags were hung up at the op shop and hopefully this will continue to be
That looks like a cool frog!!
ReplyDeleteI love the way they seem to be just about to fall at any moment!
DeleteHope the cyclone's a fizzer and does no damage - just crosses the coast, moves inland and brings some nice gentle rain to those that badly need it.
ReplyDeleteRoz,
DeleteIt looks as though it might do just that, although they are so unpredictable.
I love this photo, what a face. I hope the cyclone fades away with no severe weather. It's so good to see a warm frog and green leaves; we're extremely cold here.
ReplyDeletewow Karen,
DeleteYou are sure having extreme weather there this winter, stay warm.
Great picture!
ReplyDeletethanks Kim
DeleteGood luck with the cyclone. Looks really wet on the map.
ReplyDeleteSo far it looks as though it is heading further south, but it is bringing rain which is a good thing for those further inland.
DeleteI don't care too much for frogs, but that is one cool looking frog. Did you take the photo? Very nice capture.
ReplyDeleteHope the cyclone doesn't cause too much damage, and that it moves on to other areas.
Virginia,
DeleteYes I did - in my front yard - we have lots of these frogs - they love the wet weather. It is still a tropical low but is bringing lots of rain.
I'm sure that I am strange but I love frogs. Something about their cute little "hands" and their cute little back lets. Weird I know but that picture made my heart sing.
ReplyDeleteOh that is not strange at all! So glad my photo brightened your day!
DeleteYour frog looks soooo much happier than the one I posted today. It's always a tense time when we watch for hurricanes too. I hope all goes well with you, always!
ReplyDeleteLesa,
DeleteThese ones always look as though they are smiling. Dylan the Cyclone has headed down south and caused quite a bit of flooding - hope it continues on inland a bit where there has been some major drought.
nice to see frog taking a break that way.....
ReplyDeleteAwesome shot!
