Recycling

I have been having a good sort out of my sons old clothes, sorting out those to pass down, to ebay, & to recycle. Some items were to faded, or badly stained to go anywhere but the bin, but, as with many baby/young childrens items, they had cute images on.


I roughly cut out the images, leaving as large a border as I could as I dont know how much I'll need when I use them.

I put them in a box so they are at hand should I wish to sew them onto another piece of clothing, or maybe use one that brings back memorys on a scrapbook page.

I also removed any fastenings such as zips, bottons etc, so these can be used again as well.

  1. What a great idea. Wish i had thought of things like that. I only kept the clothes each of them came home in. Oh and Lukes 1st pair of trainers ( that were tiny !) xx

  2. What a lovely idea. It's hard to believe our children ever fitted into those teeny weeny baby clothes is it? Even the motifs bring back the memories.

  4. I've done something like this - great way to feel like the clothes aren't being wasted :-) I used small motifs inside aperture cards mostly. Can't wait to see what you make with these! xx
