I’m still working on busy bags for my friend’s church. Slowly but surely I’ll get a dozen made. This one was made from another part of the denim slipcover I recently cut up. The quilt block came in a scrap bag I inherited. I decided to try out one of the “fancy” stitches on my machine to sew it on. I like the contrast of the red thread.

When my husband got his new mini computer for work he mentioned that he really needed something to protect it from scratches and such during transport.
I immediately thought of using a denim jeans leg. I quickly made one up but discovered the denim just wasn’t thick enough.
Then I remembered these camo pants legs I had and the matching belt piece from yet another pair of pants. The original denim pants leg is the lining inside the camo. I also put some light weight foam at the bottom so the mini computer would have some cushion.I really happy with the result and it cost me nothing but the electricity to run the sewing machine.

I made some more paper beads this morning. I could make these all day if left to my own devices but that just doesn’t happen around here.I also made up another “busy bag“.
I cut a denim slipcover from an old chair for the back and handles. The lining is cut from an old tablecloth that had a couple stains in all the wrong places.
I love recycling!!!!
