Upcycled Cherished Clothing

Got a kid who's a hoarder? A simple solution I devised last night...turn her junk into a new treasure.

Stella made the leap and decided to give some of her clothes away. I rescued two of her favorites and wove them into a pillow. She hasn't put it down all day!

When life gives you no money for curtains steal one from your table

Sew tabs on a tablecloth (especially one that doesn't fit your current table) to make it a curtain. Great for garage sale finds. These tabs are made from a sheet I cut up. Upcycle!

Upcycle project of the week: Turn a robe into a rug

Faced with a robe that was too big for me even when I was pregnant I decided to get to work.  Too nice for the rag pile, I set my mind to creating a bathroom rug.

Bouttonneires

Fresh for summer and hardy enough you can keep them for heirlooms. Made in the USA from recycled bottles!

Crochet, you say? A bowl? Yes. I make myself ridiculous challenges. But, to your advantage, this ocean bowl turned out swimmingly. Eco-conscious, recycled t-shirt fabric, comprises this piece with colors ranging from teal, lime green, and indigo to dark gray. Can you taste that salt air?

Retro Rainbow Granny Scarf 

Looks like you just pulled it out of granny's closet, but on the plus side it doesn't come smelling like le moth balls. Brand spanking new, fun, funky fresh.  Pictured with removable felt pins, available separately for purchase for 1-3 dollars.

Deep Blue Infinity Scarf 
Accidentally I just made my favorite scarf yet. Untethered by rules, the infinity scarf can be worn in eight loops (shown), tied lariat-style, dangling around your neck as a human lasso...pretty much whatever you like. Freedom is yours. Light-weight deep blue polyester retains its color and carries with it this paradox: It keeps you warm without being too hot. Magic?

Squishy Ombre Rainbow Scarf

Squishy, warm ombre goodness. Bright Pink transitions into Indigo, leaving an ombre trail of dark and bright colors. Bright and subtle at the same time for a little kick in winter's tush. Pictured with removable felt pins, available separately for purchase for 1-3 dollars.

Rainbow Shawl

A little rainbow to brighten the dreariest winter day.

Chunky Hat and Scarf Set, Black or Hot Pink

This hat is chunky monkey. Can be worn in a number of styles. Depending on the shape of your noggin or how you're feeling today it can be used as a beret, beanie or cloche, and starched it can masquerade as a nice pillbox shaped hat. Matching mini scarf. Open weave and chunky. Both items sold together.

Red Cape
Versatile piece. Shown on petite model, but can be worn as one size fits all. Can be worn as a shawl or hooked with a hidden button (shown) to make a stunning cape. Gorgeous icky weather pick.

Custom Upcycled Belt from fav t-shirt, OOAK

Back in my former life as a youth worker (and as someone who wore tie dye) we made these adorable shirts to go to a conference. 

I'm over it. 

But...I'm not ready to let go of the shirt and I'd like a fun accent in my wardrobe. 

Et voila. Poof! A fun new belt. 

This one can be yours or you can send me a shirt of your own. Do it up!

What you see here is perfect for someone, but if it's not your idea of perfect we can create something perfect just for YOU.
