There is a sudden flurry of interest in recycling in the UK fashion world because the Crafts Council has put on a show about eco textiles. I've done a workshop for them and will be doing more when it tours. http://www.craftscouncil.org.uk/wellfashioned/index.html I do it too! make clothes and accessories from recycled materials.

I use a lot of yarn I reclaimed from thrift store sweaters in my projects, as do my daughters. It allows us to work with wonderful fibers as well as some unusual blends that we just couldn't buy! I just completed a baby gown of recycled cashmere that I ran along with some tencel threads and it made the most lovely fabric! It’s great to see these sites.

I've just started making baby bonnets out of recycled materials, and it is amazingly fun. I love making a new piece of wearable one-of-a-kind art out of something from a thrift bin. (if anyone's interested, you can see them here: http://oliveandbea.etsy.com) I'm inspired to try an apron like that. As soon as I get a moment in the studio again. I especially love that last one!
