During Lockdown my neighbours gave me some jogging pants, jumpers and T-shirts - all too big for me, so I up-cycled them into this outfit
This outfit started off as a 20+-year-old torn duvet cover my friend was throwing out
I took six pairs of specs to the recycling bank, but you can't donate the cases, so I took the pouch-style cases home and with some kids unused felt and some unused shoe laces I made this hat.
The soles came apart from these boots and they were also cracked across the bottom, so I made them into a nice warm hat
I saved this fabulous wool tartan fabric from going to the tip. As much as I adore men in kilts I am sad to say that women (especially older women) don't look as fabulous in them as their menfolk, so I wanted to make something more flattering, but on the same principle of one piece of cloth, pleated & fastened with a strap (I used a strap from an old handbag for this). To go with the kilt I made an oversized tam-o-shanter.
I actually bought this tartan fabric new - not recycled!
Plain boots that I bought from a charity shop for £3. I added faux stirrups made from
old handbag straps. I made them so I could remove them and use on other boots.
Another outfit made from a duvet cover and one pillow case found in a charity shop
