Rooms are smaller here so I REDUCED my wardrobe and a lot went to charity, other things I have preserved.
I kept this blouse for instance, because I love the color. I've cut the front in two pieces and it includes the original buttons and buttonholes. I found a chequered red scarf that fits to the backing and ....ready.
I RECYCLED my blouse and it is REUSED as a quilt.
I tried some doodling on the machine. I added some old labels too.
The backing I showed you in my teaser some days ago.
Hope you like it.
What a clever way to use and keep a favorite blouse. I really like the labels and the red stripe in the middle.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, Ineke, I do like the way you reused a treasured fabric. Now you can enjoy that blouse in your smaller space for years to come.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful way to reuse and recycle something you no longer need. A beaut background on which to try various quilting designs. I like the touch of red and the backing fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove the thought of using a blouse! Didn't you use a shirt in another quilt? Wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteRobbie. I think you mean the jeans? For the macro theme I made a big zipper.I have a complete suit now.
DeleteGreat repurposing here Ineke, love the colours and stitch lines all together too.
ReplyDeleteLove what you created with your recycling! And you deserve extra kudos for getting it done in the midst of a move!!
ReplyDeleteI love how you've used your blouse!!! Very clever!
