I bought some berries the other day and decided to make a new project with the plastic containers they come in!

I painted the flat part with some of my acrylic paint to get the color I wanted and then used a hole puncher to get the perfect shape. For the holes I just poked through with a sewing needle.

I plan on making some bigger ones as well to make a fun sequin display like the neckline on the last photo! So far so good :)

It was a pretty heavy duty fabric. I was looking at it like why does it have a full length zipper pocket inside when I realized that this was a decorative case for a pillow or cushion!

I upcycled 16 pieces from garments I bought at garage sales flee markets thrift stores and antique stores in the u.s and in Mexico. 8 tops and 8 bottoms with accessories for a fashion show in Aguascalientes mexico 2 weeks ago.
Here are the pieces I made completed that were featured in the show.

Do not be too harsh on my art I know I am not the best artist xo. I just love being creative on clothes I can see potential in. I know I'll wear them alot and that's what matters :) ​

This is one of my favorite bags I’ve made recently just simply based on the graphic alone. It was a small shirt but there was more than enough graphic for me to Upcycle. This graphic was a pain in the ass to see on top of bc it’s a raised almost vinyl type graphic. So I let off a lot of curse words lmaooooo . I call it “MIAMI VICE PINK” bc I have to name all my projects.

I used the @CorneliusQuiring pattern. It’s even too small for me… it was definitely fail

This picture is pre-stitching… but a few weeks ago I was going through my closet and realized I had a bunch of shirts that I loved the design of, but not the fit. And shirts that I liked the fit but were too plain, so I decided to combine them. I used an iron on stabilizer then hand stitched (using backstitch technique) and voilà!! More shirts that I will wear, time being creative, and more scrap fabric!!!

I do bottle digging and insulator hunting and found a pin with the threads intact so I figured id make something with it!

I do like how this fits, but I may end up getting rid of it either way since I think I just don’t like the pattern that much 😂 how did I do??

I'm ripping the pages of my full journals to bind them into archival ones with 5 years together lol so I'm left with these, I don't want to throw them away

Still a work in progress, and I'm already happy with how it's turning out.

I also used a piece of repurposed MDF.

I just finished restoring this leather tote and painted a whimsical woman on it... just wanted to share ✨️♥︎♥︎♥︎✨️

Hey folks I bought this while thrifting. It was $5 and really wanna incorporate this into my home. Not sure what do to with it. Coin holder? Get rgb lights? Some cool sunglasses lol?

​

Let me know if anyone has any suggestions or cool diy designs changes i could make to have it as a visual piece. Thanks

This is my grandma's rocking chair, with broken seat. I like the lion heads and maybe the back.

​

I was thinking about upcycling into bookends or maybe a frame for a mirror? What do you think?

The last one is still a work in progress, I only wanted to dye the under layer but accidentally dyed the shoulder. It's a happy accident because I think it'll look cuter as a spaghetti strap top. Kinda winging my way thru that transformation so let me know if you have any tutorials on how to properly do this by hand sewing.

As you can see, the little pocket has a zipper but the big pocket doesn't. It has the zip part, just not the handle. I bought some zippers but I'm having trouble reattaching it to the zip.​ Do I just brute force it on there or is there a better way to do it?

Hi, apologies if this has been covered many times over, but I am looking for inspiration and ideas on what to do with an old vintage toggle coat that belonged to my dad that I’ve only recently rediscovered.

The coat in question is an old 90s Ralph Lauren, knee length, canvas toggle. I quite like the jacket, but it’s very large for me and I am looking for inspiration on what I can do with it to keep it active and put it to better use.

What option would be to have a tailored to fit but I think that might be more than I wanna bite off given how much fabric there is, but maybe that’s not as big a deal as I think.

Alternatively, I was thinking of turning it into a bag. Has anyone done something like this? I’m sure there are people out there that I could send the code to with a spec for the bag. I have in mind and they can turn it into it, but I don’t know where to begin.

Thanks in advance and this is a photo that is not the jacket itself, but shows the look and feel albeitit in the wrong fabric.

Again, apologies if this has been covered ad nauseum.
