Sweet

When I started this post on recycled clothing, my plan was to include a few pieces from a few different blogs. It seems that many people feel inspired to reduce, reuse, and recycle when it comes to old clothing, which fits right in with Simple Sparrow’s very popular Use What You Have Month (flickr pool over here).

But as I said, I was planning on including pieces from a variety of blogs, until I started touring the archives over at sweet and there was so much to look at that I couldn’t choose just one of her pieces! Those pictures above are of a handbag Angharad made from a thrifted denim skirt, check it out over here to see her clever solution for the classy handles.

And like I said I just got stuck as I perused her amazing recyclables, from the needle holder shown above which can be found over here (scroll down to see an amazing fabric stash), to the two felted sweater purses you see there which are posted here and here (scroll down for some very helpful tips on frogging sweaters for recycled yarn).

But finally, I did tear myself away and found many more beautiful recycled clothing on other blogs which I will be posting about soon, but if you are looking for a lovely piece of recycled clothing to buy (or just another kick of inspiration) I would reccomend checking out the black label site, a designer collection made from recycled clothing, which I came upon while touring the new blog Fashion Plate.
