Off Topic: Hand Bag

I hate Throwing out clothes. I remember growing up and seeing pretty much EVERYTHING recycled in one way or another. Growing up in the country with a big garden, a large backyard and, a creek to play in you see recycling a lot.

You plant, you pick, you cook, you eat and return what you do not use in the mulch where it turns into fertilized soil for your garden. Seems almost too easy...

I have a pile of clothes that over the years I no longer fit, I would hate to throw out and donating my worn out clothings... well, I wear the heck out of my clothing.

I have tried so many times to sew. but I can't seem to make it past simple hem jobs. But no time for that right now.

As you can see this was a very pretty (and very LOUD) sweater at one point.

Not shown: How majestic in its sparkly it is.

I made it into a simple bag, no second pockets, two handles and one draw string. I like sewing, productive hobbies are great. But it takes way to much set up and planning with a baby in the house. And I am sure I am not the only one who has stabbed themselves with fast moving sewing needles.

However, I used the all knowing thing called google (seriously its scary what you can find.) BAM! Presto Clothing to Yarn.  

Thick floor rugs here I come!
