UPcycling at its best

I am a great believer in wasting nothing. Throughout my childhood I envied friends who seemed to have an unlimited budget for clothes. I created my own style and improvised my wardrobe by altering thrift store finds or hand-me-downs.

My first design was the Envelope, implementing fabric from curtains that I no longer used. I needed something for work that converted to a Clutch or Fanny Pack to wear for more strenuous activities. I utilized some jeans that I could not donate to create larger options.

Do you have a favorite outfit that’s too small, or that you cannot donate due to a slight stain or imperfection? I can turn that into a useful bag that will always remind you of the good things in life.

Feel free to email me a photo of clothes you no longer wear, but don’t want to part with. I can tell you if it’s feasible to incorporate into a bag. If you’re in Connecticut we could meet, or if you are further away you could mail the items to me.
