free motion stitched with TLSS (the little sewing shop), my button tag, and the other pocket embellished with ribbon.
These were $1 jeans from the thrift shop (a large adult size!). I used the denim as fabric, they are 1 pair of jeans, but I used different areas of them to make the different colors.
These are for my 4 yr old son!

I just cut the lining a bit shorter in the waist & hem (as well as dropping the side seam)
New Upcycle Fetishes. See: www.behance.net/gallery/Upcycle-Fetish-2/15944029 Available here: andischeiger.bigcartel.com/
Made from a baking sheet (cut up with Pampered Chef Kitchen Scissors) and chalkboard paint. Framed in a wooden frame from the dollar store.
We have made this table, or similar iterations, a number of times. But success keeps drawing us back, even when the road is hard! This is a very open-grained, natural top of reclaimed elm-wood from China, set atop two local sewing machine bases, and held in place by a metal "prong" setting inspired by the one on a diamond ring.

This skirt started life as an old pair of jeans. The lower front is made from three panels of the leg and the flower is appliqued on. The flower centre is a vintage button and the stalk and leaves worked in simple machine stitching.
Acey Amapola Tompkins died, the day after Thanksgiving, 2010, on these sheets, faded, much mended, and ready for upcycling.
Upcycling is one key to the new economy, and this year my creative project is going to be to figure out something beautiful and useful for these old sheets.
And the winner is Vintage Chica's crocheted rag rug.

These are window treatments like no other. Sustainable Stylish and Multifunctional. Upcycled Custom curtains made from vintage one of a kind 35mm film slides.
Every slide is housed with a new hard plastic white mount that attractively displays each image and compliments any rooms decor. Each slide is connected with eight metal rings making them very durable yet flexible like chain-mail , easily opened and closed like real curtains. The slides were meticulously sorted and put in order by color theme from pink at the top, followed by red, orange ,yellow, green, blue, and purple.
All the 35mm slides are original photographic images from the the past 50+ years from various amateur photographers around the world and the subject matters are as diverse as the planet itself.
By night the slides are visible from outside when the interior lights are illuminated acting as a privacy window for you.
The curtains are 5ft 7in tall by 6ft wide and consist of 36 curtain rings, 1,152 vintage film slides and 1,152 slide mounts and almost 7,000 silver tone rings and took a total of 4 months to make.

The Original Upcycled Shirt Skirt Size 2/3T
adore this skirt! I devised this pattern using the sleeves of 2 repurposed men's dress shirts. It has a completely adjustable waist, making it easy to fit a wider range of sizes. It features a flattering and comfortable flared fit, perfect for twirling and dancing!
