Christmas colour themed vintage fabrics at Rag Rescue

 I've listed a few more Christmas colour themed vintage fabrics onto the website today.

What Christmas crafts have you been making lately?

 

Think seriously about recycling vintage fabrics.

I've been thinking about the word 'recycle' a lot lately with regard to textiles. So many old textiles are STILL being thrown away instead of being reused. People are still buying modern fabrics when there are plenty of antique and vintage fabric crying out to be recovered. So today I want you to think about how you could reprocess and remodel the wonderful array of vintage fabrics in your craft work. Here is an example of how a lampshade could be made with strips of vintage fabric. Why not send me photo's of your recreations so that we can encourage others to do the same.

 

Before you buy new fabric STOP and think

Recycle

reuse

redesign

re-evaluate

re-sew

reduce

recover

reprocess

reclaim

remodel

rescue

restore

regenerate

re-model
