Upcyling again...

Recently I was given a bag of clothes from a friend who has lost lots of weight! Whoop for Lin!
Some of the clothes were very me and I have squeezed them into my wardrobe,  other were just not me and have gone to the op shop (I am stealing this phrase from the Oz girls as I think its cool - op = charity shop, opping = charity shops shopping) but others were very lush fabric, so I have kept them for upcycling.

First I took this cardy:

and started to make this bag:

and then I took this shirt:

and started to make this skirt:

I will let you know who they work out soon :)

ooh... new chair!

Remember this old girl:

Look at her now!

Model is wearing Jazzberry paint and Jazz fabric
(completely unrelated coincidence)
Lets not talk about the underneath though!

Upcycle

I bought a set of two lovely old chairs today from my local furniture initiative store.
I am going to upcycle them into the funky bum rests they long to be.
They are still a little shy and haven't quite come out yet, so I have left some paint brochures lying around for them to browse while they are alone.
When they are ready to make a commitment, I will let you know :)
