Upcycling





I love to upcycle (the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value.) It has got to be one of my most favorite things to do, if not thee most favorite! 

Im a sewer so most of my upcycling is done with knits.

This scarf has a touch of vintage jewelry on it. 

 Sweaters are the most common items I use.  I've been meaning to open an Etsy shop, but seem to never get around to it. I will soon though. lol

 I hope to post some tutorials soon on this blog.

I found a sweater one day while searching the racks at the Good Will. It was covered in perl beads. So I have been having fun using it to decorate some of my scarves. 




This dress is made from a woman's top. I've even made a headband to match.
