Barbara Russell, ALCQ member & J&H Sewing store manager, WOWed us today with her clever uses of old bits of clothing & ties that she bought for 99 cents at the local Value Village.
She used old coat linings to make beautiful Home Dec pillows, embellishing with embroidery, quilting, crystals & beads.
This bag was made by one of her students, from old ties.
In this little orange bag, she carries he cup, to help keep Styrofoam cups out of the landfills.
An old dress became a fancy clutch purse.
Someone's old winter coat is a nice bag now.
Old ties make a new bag.
Two silk ties turned into a lovely chatelaine.
An old sweater became a new bag & hat to match for Lin Wince.
Barb uses black stabilizer on the inside back of a jacket, when she used a Laurel Burche embroidery, & it looked great inside & out.
This little plastic purse designed like boy's undershorts had a message about "chicks" on it. You can click on the image to see it closer.
The collar on this jacket was embellished with bits of scraps, covered with tulle & stitched down.
An assortment of clothing labels adorn this denim jacket.
It was a TERRIFIC program! THANKS BARB!!!!*************
