I love the Wombles…. Living a simple life, taking the things everyday folk leave behind and turning them into something new….

We should all be more Womble!!

I recently found these in a charity shop in Ilkeston - what a great find and though stored away for now, will make great bags 🥰♻️🥰

This is one of my favourite sounds whilst sewing!

The sound of quality scissors on tabletop cutting fabrics
I love my Guggenhein scissors - best pair I’ve ever owned ❤️

Anyone else get where I’m coming from??

I experimented with fabric scraps and buttons and this is what the final bag looked like.

It never made it to etsy as it was snapped up by a friend for the start of her Christmas shopping!

Do I make more button bag creations?

Present made for a friend from a rescued cross stitch picture. Oh the hours of work that must have gone into this stitch work 😘♻️❤️

Apologies for being absent for so long - soooooo much cracking off at home at the moment that had little time to sew 😳😭

Anyways, this was the wonderful sight on my washing line this week, - highlights the life of a fabric upcycler 😆

Lots of lovely deconstructed jeans to play with later in the year 👖 ♻️🥰❤️

Happy Saturday folks 🥰
