Cute Re-Purposed Projects!

These projects were spawned off of me doing another deep purge of the clutter in our home. I’ve recently read 2 super duper books that have me on a mission. I’ll share more about those on another post.
But until then here is what I’ve been working on.
The first is a re-purposed pillow.

This cute pillow started out as two tank tops which now look like this.
IMG_1559 I think it came out really cute!  And it was SUPER easy.
One of my other projects has to do with baby clothes that I’ve been holding on to for way to long. For some reason I associate an article of clothing with a memory but I’m pretty sure I’ll still have the memory after the clothing is gone.
These are the results of my BFF and I brainstorming while looking at a bag full of baby clothes.
Here’s the first one.

It’s a plastic bag holder!
I LOVE this. And it is totally functional. The bags come out with ease.

All I did was sew up the legs and keep the middle part unbuttoned to pull the bags out.

The next one I did the exact same thing but used this one to hold my clothes pins when I hang clothes out to dry. It looks so cute hanging on the clothes line! But right now you’ll have to settle for it hanging from my arm because I forgot to take a picture of it on the line. LOL!

So what do you think? Have you re-purposed anything lately. If so, what’d you do? I’d love to know.
HAVE A FABULOUS DAY!

  5. Cute ideas! Why, now you even have two midriff tops for the summer! ;-)

    I don't know that I "re-purpose" anything, but I use every last drop of what I have in order to use it all. Soap pieces, meat drippings, coffee grounds...well, not all for the same thing, but you get the idea! ;-)

  12. Excellent ideas here. One could also repurpose old pillow slip covers as well...

    Old, raggedy t-shirts make wonderful cleaning rags.

    Old denims can be used to repair new ones...
