Vintage recycling....


One of the joys of recycling is finding a new home or a new use for things. Here, I've created two new garments from ordinary items.

The off-white poncho was once a baby blanket, not a knitted one but a gorgeous textured stretch interlock one. Cute though it was, I couldn't see it used for its original purpose. Now however, I'm sure it will be a loved addition to any girl's wardrobe. It's super soft and very snuggly!

The stunning lime jacket is made from a vintage German tablecloth that was sadly bound for landfill. I'm so pleased to have rescued it! The cotton (actually feels linen) is very high quality. The buttons are also vintage. The jacket has a button-down tab at the back and is fully lined.
