Trash to Treasure--Project #1










I promised pictures so here is project number one.


I saw an incredible recycled wool scarf on Etsy and decided to try to make one of my own. It appeared to be in line with my sewing capabilities--I can turn on the machine and sew a mostly straight line:)

I purchased some wool sweaters at the Salvation Army thrift store and felted them. Three of the sweaters turned out--the thicker ones did not felt for me. I would really like to try this with some cashmere sweaters.

It took a bit of cutting to cut out all of the circles but I got enough to make three scarves. Each scarf is around 100 inches long.
