I don't know about you, but with all this talk about global warming, I've definitely been trying to do better at reusing, recycling, and repurposing old items. Now, I'm not the best when it comes to sewing, I have to admit. So that's usually where I give up.
But people like Nicole MacLaughlin inspire me to want to do better, although I'm not sure I would ever be able to get to her level of upcycling genius.
