As I disassemble and reassemble dress shirts, I end up with scraps.
Being the kind of person that doesn't like to throw away anything potentially useful, I have A LOT of scraps.
Ever since I heard about Timo Rissanen's Zero Waste Design focus, I've been intrigued.
My designs are not zero waste, but what if I used up the leftover scraps? I could make lap / baby blankets.
I've been experimenting.
Here is one made recently.
The scraps are on a piece of wool. I did some free motion quilting that is almost visible.
Making these is both fun and therapeutic. Unfortunately it is also time consuming. I'm wishing I could have elves, like the shoemaker, so I could wake up in the morning with all my new scraps transformed into a blanket. Anyone feeling elfish? Come on over.
Happy Upcycling,
Michelle
