First, I want to repost my tutorial for upcycled hoodies. They are really simple, super gorgeous and a very easy way to reuse those tee's that are no longer good for tees. I think it would also be amazing to use mens shirts-- work shirts. I could totally see a blue pinstripe shirt upcycyled as the ruffle onto a striped hoodie.... super chic! Adding that to my list for sure as I have LOADS of Mrs. H's button downs sitting in the studio {also great to make dresses out of!}
And a second dash of green. That bag from one of a kind wednesday?? Part of it started out as a leather jacket.
My amazing MIL has started running half marathons-- yep..she is amazing! Anyway, she has shrunk in size quite a lot an had a gorgeous leather jacket that was waaay too big. It really couldn't be altered to her size and she was going to toss it out. I immediately thought-- handbag handles, pockets...I'll take it! So I spent some time yesterday picking it apaprt and reused a few of the pieces on my one of a kind bag. Love it! The leather is amazingly soft. Delish!
Hopefully these projects inspire you to make old new again! Go Green!
Happy upcycling!
luvluv.
