Upcycle Recycle New from Old

Since getting a new sewing machine last year I have realized I have a ton of raw material waiting to be renewed. Fabric can get expensive and I don't always know what I will make with a yard or two of some fantastic looking yardage. Since loosing 30 pounds last year I have almost a whole wardrobe of magic waiting to happen. It started innocently with a bootie bag one week before Christmas and realizing Christmas Eve I couldn't find all the Christmas Stockings. My daughter suggested using the denim from the pants I had set aside that no longer fit. So I quickly stitched up 4 stockings sometime after midnight. Since then I have stitched up the cutest bags for birthday gifts.

Boys Know How to Sew Too!

Sewing has taken over the house, even boys are wanting to learn to sew on the sewing machine. Our first boy project is a camo backpack from a pair of camo pants that had 4" holes in the knees. I will post a finished pic when it is complete.
