One castaway old cotton sweater...
And a selection of the countless items I made from it:
And this is not all. Please note all these were sold and the photo's are very old.
A SIMPLE ACCOUNT OF REUSABLE GOODS FOUND IN THE TRASH, THE SALES, THE KEEPS AND THE TRANSFORMATIONS
Welcome! All I do here is simply show off all sorts of things that over the years I found in the trash and tell little stories about it.
I’m proud to rescue durable goods for myself or for others, to give or to sell; I pick up materials for my recycled art and craft; thus reducing my footprint and save the Earth’s resources.
Hope you enjoy looking and reading and get inspired to reuse more often yourself!
Thanks for visiting and feel free to leave a comment!

all the offspring projects look wonderful!
how do you unravel the yarn so that you have continuous strands? how do you start so you can unwind?
thx

wow! all from the one sweater, that's amazing! All the projects look great too!
That is awesome!! Well done. I'm crocheting a tank top out of an old cotton sweater right now, so it's exciting for me to see some of this inspiration. I love how you found uses for all the different colours.
