• Upcycling – Transforming garbage

• Upcycling – Kids Stool from a spindle

  As you well know I have been known to stumble across a lot of (what many would refer to as ‘junk’) items for my up-cycling projects from the footpath. I stooped to a new low for this one. They were found in the skip at our block, where the builders toss all their house building…

  In follow-up to my previous post Sewing Things… I have added a few more items to my list of things I have made with my machine. I can safely say I am getting back into the swing of sewing again after 20 years away from a machine.
