Recycled Sewing

I’ve been making these pouches for years from all my scrap fabric.   I have a huge ten gallon grab bag full of beautiful sewing remenants waiting for a project.  This project is fast and easy to make.  You can find several of these pouches in my etsy shop.

A fellow Sacramentan recycles vintage hand bags, luggage and shoes by adding handpainted motifs to her items.  You can find Roundtrip on etsy.  Making something plain and old into something new and hip rocks!

This messenger bag has great colors.  I love that w3bch1ck protected the burlap part with clear vinyl.

An iPod case recycled from another leather handbag.  Geoffgn did the ultimate recycle, an old bag into a new bag.

Roaming through etsy, I found a new etsy artist making some fantastic pieces. Her name is Giulia Fatica from Alberta, Canada. She has a Fiber Arts Degree with Distinction in Textiles from the Alberta College of Art and Design.

The first item I found was the belt show above. It is stunning and great work with recycled materials, especially leather.

Originally this post was to feature several different artists from etsy. But then Giulia posted her scarves and I was very thrilled to see them. Each scarf has a different texture and would look great will many different outfits. They can go casual or business attire.

Great Work!
