Recycle Projects

Reused cushion stuffing - Finally replaced the cushion Lucy chewed! I ordered the same upholstery fabric on the roll as the curtains, which the original cushion came with. The insert was also chewed, so I sewed a new one from scrap cotton.  Also added a cotton lining. It has an invisible zip like the original.


Recycled jeans: Mr W gave me his old jeans to use as fabric. I made these medicine bags from the legs. Used a leaf design on my sewing machine for the border. I also interfaced the outer fabric in light interfacing, as the fabric had a slight stretch. 
When I have something to refashion, it's a good way to use up ends of quilting cotton I'm not going to use for quilts.
