Fabric Crafts

Recycled Fabric

I love fabric and I am also passionate about recycling. So what could be better than upcycling some old fabric off cuts and turning them into something new. I have made a range of lovely things using fabric off-cuts rescued from my mother's fabric stash and kindly donated by friends and colleagues.

Yellow Fabric Corsage
A lovely bright spring corsage made from fabric off-cuts. This corsage has been made out of suffolk puffs with a button centre.

Christmas Tartan Corsage
A seasonal tartan corsage made from off-cuts of red and green tartan taffetta. This corsage has a lovely dyed mother of pearl button centre.

Lavendar Bags
A heart shaped lavendar bag with a hanging loop and pretty button. The bag has a co-ordinating fabric on the back.

Wool Corsages

I made a patchwork blanket out of old woolly jumpers and had some bits of jumper left over, so decided to have a go at making rolled corsages out of some of the left over bits. They seem to have turned out ok.

Teal Corsage
A lovely teal wool corsage made from strips of twisted knitted wool. This corsage has a lovely glass button centre.
