I thought the mitts turned out swell! I used my mitten pattern; just enlarged it a bit.
I ended up with 3 mitts and three pot holders. All for $1.19. Feeling very clever. :)

Recycle, Reuse, Reduce
Besides my reused sweater mittens and my reused tee shirt jewelry there are other areas where I try not to buy new. Nowadays I love to shop the thrift stores - much the same way I used to love to shop at Macy's - for just the right addition to my home decor. I found this pillow sham this week, it measured 30" x 24", something like that. The colors were perfect for my kitchen which is a bit wacky in orange and red. And already quilted and a nice softly used feel.

ReplyDeleteLOVE RECYCLING! I have an over flowing bag of knit tops and wool socks waiting for you. I need to move some of this stuff OUT soon.
ReplyDeleteThat is very clever. A whole collection of lovely and useful items from sham. Upcycling at it's best :)
