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.
This is an example of fussy cutting. When I found these jeans with bright green printing on them, I knew I needed to make use of the feature. So I cut round it, and teamed it with this green contrast strip. I was really pleased with the result.
