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.
I do enjoy selecting the fabrics for the elephants, both for the bodies and for the ears. I stocked up on fat quarters of African fabric a while ago, but I think restocking time may be fast approaching.
