So lets do a bit of sharing today, what do you do to lower your impact on the environment? Particularly what do you craft or make that re-uses, renews, recycles items. Please do share links to photos or your own blog articles in comments.
One of the things I do is searching for already shrunken sweaters in thrift stores. Then turn them into new items such as cell phone cosys.
Here is an
example of a shrunken sweater sleeve.Cut, re-sewn, added a vintage button, red cotton scraps for lining, and new rat tail cord and Scotty buttons.
Scotty - Wool Small Purse or Cell Phone Cosy
I make such items both for myself as well as for sale.
Look forward to seeing your ideas and what you make for fun or for profit. Thanks.

I just bought three wool sweaters at the church rummage sale next to work...they are in a hot wash right now...I am anxious to try something with them...I hope they work out as nice as your project did.
Thanks Deborah. I really enjoy making things from shrunken sweaters and hope you will too.
