I am happy to see I'm not the only person who loves to recycle things instead of seeing them go into the trash. I have been recycling jeans for years, I aslo recycle bed sheets for quilt backings, tee shirts, cotton shirts, dust ruffles and anything else I see as very unique and to my liking. I recently took an old wool coat and started making my granddaughter a winter dress coat to wear. I would love to hear how others have recycled something old into something new and interesting.

I love my Cute family and am very grateful to Miss Veronika for ALL she does for us. I love to take what I call ugly bags (bags that are old, have advertizing, whatever and remake them. I have used fabric to cover bags, trims and ribbons to dress them up. I love turnig a bag that is still usable but would have been thrown away into something pretty.
