Theme: To recycle, reduce and reuse a number of materials, not just cotton fabric.
Most of us have a habit of buying things we really don’t need,more than we need , won’t use more than once or repair if they are worn . So my thought with this challenge is to not buy anything new (as in fabric) to be the base of the challenge. My thought is to reshape those excess/used/leftover items into something useful and possibly practical.
Suggested Items for collections
are:
Tyvek(mailing) envelopes /house covering/painting suits(all used)/plastic grocery bags
wool,flannel,polyester/cotton,cotton,silk ,bamboo fabric scraps no larger than a
half yard / 2 fat quarters or pieces no less than 3x3inch square
worn,but clean men’s/women’s dress shirts, suit pants, ties,old bras and garters
* Pieces of cotton, wool, silk,bamboo or polyester batting No larger than a ½ yard (wide)
and no smaller than 8×8 inch square
(*Mark with an X any of the battings that are fusible)
Fibers,buttons,zippers,snaps, bells etc..(embellishments)
