fibre couture

recently i saw a couture firbre booth at one of the many festivals i have attended.
as i examined the jackets, scarves, and bags, i realized that they were all made with recycled clothing.

as i often do, i thought, "I can do that!" and so came home and looked through the donation bag that i am constantly filling.  dragging out my needle and thread, i began to snip, cut, chop, and restring fabric back together.

these are from the festival:

who would pay $95 for any of these things????  i am going to try to make my own couture designs.  i'll just pretend i am on project runway.  recycle, remake, reuse.......

this is mine....i am still working on getting the right pieces together, and deciding how to deal with the sleeves....it's easy to go overboard.

though i may never wear this, i am enjoying the collage of fabrics!
