Summer skirt I made from old T-shirts.

A bag I made out of a pair of old corduroy pants and random scraps and things I salvaged.
Here's the pattern, if you want to recreate this bag:

A few years ago, I made this hat which is still one of my favourite makes. The pattern is self drafted and very simple, basically it's just two circles and a long rectangle.

I used three layers: smooth viscose/cotton lace on top of a cotton fabric which I stabilized with iron-on fusible interfacing. The hat is also lined with a light cotton fabric, so it’s hand washable.

All the materials (except interfacing) are recycled from thrifted clothes, like a skirt lining that I had removed and a lace top that was too short.

To style the hat in different ways, I just tie silk chiffon scarves around it and clip or pin fabric flowers, barrettes or brooches to it.

A few months ago, I made this bag as a X-mas present for a family member.

The lush green cotton velvet is reclaimed from a dumpster dived throw pillow case. For the lining, I used black cotton I had lying around.

I added a thrifted necklace from wooden beads and a cute little heart charm.
