Everyone's closet is filled with clothing or other items that seem to have no use. They served you well in their time and you hate the idea of these things going to a thrift store or worse, the recycle bin. With a little imagination you can take an old item and create a whole new look.
The other day I decided I needed to do something with some old sheets I'd been given. The pajama pants I created for a few friends are very popular so I'm encouraging them to tell others. They are roomy, comfortable and I don't want to take mine off! The pair pictured here went to a friend.
She called me after picking them up last night and said they were the most comfortable pants she'd ever worn. They were made from an old sheet.
The other day we had a snow storm and I needed a quick stocking cap. I took an old sweater I had lying around and created a hat and scarf. You'll have to excuse the photo, I was not feeling well that day and the photo definitely makes that plain.
I'm not really mad at the world, I was trying to figure out how to take the photo in the mirror and pushed the button too quickly.
As you can see behind me, I'm in the bathroom and one of my future projects is to redo it so it doesn't look quite so cluttered. Not sure how I will accomplish this.
While I was taking these photos, my cat, Fiona, decided she wanted in on the fun.
I think my eyes are closed because she jumped on me just as I was taking a photo and surprised me in the middle of the shot.
Well, I'm off to work on a skirt I'm making from quilt squares. Tomorrow I'm planning to introduce another topic,depending on how much I can accomplish without feline assistance.
