Trash to Treasures
#1
I love to recyle. Here are a few pictures of thing I've recycled over the last few years.
This is the first thing I made with blue jeans. I used 4 pairs to make this jumper, which I wear a lot.

Every one is going "green". Here's my "green" bag. It stays in the trunk of my car.

Another blue jean project.
I call this a purse on the go. It folds up to carry in your purse or you can carry it with the strap.

The first picture is a wool tree skirt with the nativity. Each creature was done my hand.The second picture is a calendar block of the month. The "project" got so heavy that I knew we could not sleep under it. I fold it over the pillow on my bed.
Wool tree skirt. Every creature was done by hand.

Great work-the bible cover is darling! But the dress is very nice also. It will look great. Good work- the bag will never wear out!! I use my denim bag for everything. I also save neckties and have always wanted to make a quilt. They are from my father, husband and boys as they were growing up and actually wearing them! Uneard of today . . . thanks for sharing.

This is a vest I made from men's wool slacks. It's called an upside down vest. If you look closely at the second picture you can see the pocket flaps. When I brought these pants home I told DH they were for him to wear to our Christmas Party. I wish I'd had a camera ready to capture the look on his face.

This is my newest Treasure. Finished it yesterday. I've had this pattern for a while and couldn't find exactly the fabric for the tree. The back ground is a silk sheet. The tree is a fabric shower curtain.
Wall hanging
