Contributing Member fredk Posted June 4, 2023 Contributing Member Report Posted June 4, 2023 Repurposing is far better than recycling Wishing you a quick eye and steady sewing on these projects Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members SUP Posted June 4, 2023 Members Report Posted June 4, 2023 Those are beautiful. I love recycling. You are doing such a great job of it. I love what you did with the boots. what a great idea. makes me want to look for similar boots as well! I buy old handbags if I like the design and plan to make similar ones, using the hardware in those purses. So I get both the pattern and the hardware. There are so many beautiful handmade things out there that are old and used but can be beautifully repurposed! Recycling is the fashion as well, these days. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
