My hobby is creating something new out of something old or damaged. The thrill is finding something unusual and incorporating into my craft. I started by collecting fabrics and clothing from the thrift shops. At first I really didn't know what to do with all this fabric and clothing, so I started experimenting: first crazy patch quilts, then embroidering used clothing, next purses. I'm still in the experimental stages, but I'm having a great time creating.

Hand Bags made from Old Couch Cushion Covers
My first commission... This fabric was off of a friend's family sofa. The family had such wonderful memories of the sofa that she wanted 3 hand bags made out of the covers so that they could carry the memories with them.

Be Like a "Dear" Caught in the Headlights
What should I do with this t-shirt?
Just a plain summer camp t-shirt turned into a fun purse.
I added some jewels to the deer's sunglasses and fun bright pink fabric...I found at a garage sale and a pair of my old jeans. Voila
My new model, mom. It is a very large purse/ bag, great for the beach or any outing. It will hold a blanket, extra clothing and a bottle of wine, what more do you need?
