This blog shows my recycled denim creations, along with tutorials for items I have designed myself. I collect old jeans (a strange collection, I know!) and cut them up to make bags, purses, animals and other items of varying sizes and shapes. I then sell these to raise money for weomen and children in the town of Utange, near Mombasa, in Kenya. I help women to set up their own businesses and am supporting the building of a new school for disabled children.

That's really cool.
ReplyDeleteJust say YES to patchworking scraps and bits to make new fabric --- it looks fantastic and sometimes even makes a dent in your scrap basket, lol! Great pencilcases! Do you make any kind of labels or tags for your goodies or display? Personally, as a shopper, I'd love to know which items are made from upcycled/reclaimed fabrics, and would be especially interested in knowing that some of the fabric came from Mombasa!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect way to use up all those old jeans! Love it! Thanks for sharing with us on "Strut Your Stuff Saturday!" We'll see you next week! -The Sisters
