Recycling for textiles

This is a piece I made by patchworking together sections of excess textiles that I cut from the edge of other textiles pieces.

These tiny pieces are like little treasures so it seemed a shame to throw them away.

In my Recycling book I'll show you how to reuse little bits of textiles.

In this textiles piece I've recycled a cheap Star Trek action figure by wrapping it with fabric and yarn.

This piece is called "The Seamstress" and also features recycled fabrics and thread spools.

This textiles piece was made to cover a really old chair.

I copied images of my family onto pieces of fabric and added them into the textiles.

This purse features recycled fabrics, found marbles, and a recycled purse frame.

I'll give you ideas on how to make your own recycled bags.

Is this going too far?

I decided to make art from my old bras!

The lace looks fabulous when it's melted.
