I have been going to this show for some time. In fact, this was the first show I took on without the support of those who set up the Utange project. It is always a lovely event, and this year we had the weather to match. It is one of the few events we tend to do as a family. Usually my husband comes along to do face painting, but this year it clashed with the Guitar Show, so Biddenham lost out! However, I did have the lovely Emma step in to take on the face painting. My daughter Hannah came to run a very successful toy tombola, and raised nearly half the total takings!
I had lots of lovely conversations at the sale, and have since had fabric and jeans donated as a direct result. Thank you Biddenham show, and the hard-working show committee!
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.
