Honestly, I'm in awe. I love also is that you recycle clothes you've got bored of. I wish more people did.

I may have shared this before. I was going to incorporate recycling into my college fashion show 'Looks'. This was a short, kimono-sleeved jacket I designed back in February. It's made from two pairs of old, mismatched jeans and lined with fabric from an old dress that didn't fit anymore. The jacket is too small for me, but looked fab on one of my slimmer fellow students. Unfortunately, I've lost the photos of her wearing it in class.

That’s so clever! I never know what to do with P’s old jeans.

One class is done. They are Bumblebee class so we chose the bee fabric for the student teacher to remember them by.

I’ve just used my lunch break to finish this hoodie for my very tall husband. :))

Excellent colours. I bet he'll be delighted at having the body and sleeves nice and long. :))

They never turn out how I imagine them in my head but I'm relatively pleased with it. I should plan my colours more I think.

I love that, Shoe. I did one like that years ago. It took me 10 years to finish it! It's called The Round And Round For Ten Years blanket. It ended up being a single bed size.

Thats a great blanket shoe. And nice paper chains Cerise. I had a real hankering to make paper chains last week. But sort of forgot about it.
