September theme - upcycling

Postby Soupdragon » Tue Aug 31, 2010 12:20 pm

Thought I'd start a thread for ideas for the September challenge, as there wasn't one yet. Looking at the project ideas thread the upcycling suggestion seemed quite popular. How would that sound? Does anyone have any other suggestions? Or any ideas about what to make from something upcycled?

I'd like to make a dress/top for Isabelle from some of my slightly too small fitted ladies t-shirts...

I like the upcycling theme for september!

I did the dress for Emi from an old t-shirt Steph it's so easy.

Not sure if I have time in september as it's the month we go on holiday too.
I do have lots to upcycle though ;)

Upcycling is a good theme I think. I have a pair of jeans that I'd love to make something from for Rhys, but have no idea what to do with them.

Upcycling is a great theme - lots of scope for us to make things we need, and lots of room for creativity! I might be biased though: I've just been making more upcycled CSP/breast pads :giggle:

I'd forgotten about that! I've got two jumpers put aside for that purpose :) I snaffled the cashmere one I got (£1.50 in the charity shop!) for breast pads though - soooo soft :wink: I reckon upcycling is getting a pretty big thumbs up! :wine:
