  1. My favorite is the pink fair isle (639)- it would make such cute longies for my little ones. I rarely find girly colors at my local thrift store...

  3. Something green and new-to-me: I'm making reusable produce bags today to use instead of those plastic ones that stores have.

  4. I like the Soft yellow merino blend froggable sweater (674). I think I'd need to add a zipper and some cute flowers on the pockets.

  5. I like 670- the big purple sweater!

  6. I got a t shirt out of the goodwill bin to make a skirt. Why have I not done this before?!?! So cute.

  7. I like #615--plum colored merino. Thanks for the giveaway to honor Earth Day!

  8. To do something else for Earth Day (and to reciprocate for when you featured me!), I'd like to include your shop and blog in a newsletter I'm doing to encourage others to use pre-owned clothes.

    Would it be accurate to say that many of your sweaters would be fine to wear just as they are, without upcycling?

  13. I am always checking out the local thrift stores for great sweaters to frog or wear myself. Cotton sweaters are wonderful to frog for dishcloths, coasters, hot pads and bath mats.

    ReplyDelete

  27. For a green idea, I got a blouse and skirt set from the thrift store, thinking the fabric was so pretty, even though the style was not. I ended up deciding to make a travel set with them. I made a drawstring laundry bag by sewing up the bottom of the skirt, and making 2 slits in the outer side of the waistband, on either side of the zipper, and threading a drawstring through it. Then I cut up the blouse, and used pieces of the bodice and sleeves for a small tote bag with same fabric handles and a velcro closure to carry toiletries in, and a little cosmetic case for small items. Then with the tiny pieces left, I sewed a little purse for a friend's grandaughter. Its great to start the creative juices flowing, have fun making things, and reuse things not really usable.

  34. Something new and green, hmmm. I am growing an indoor plant with my black thumb. I watered it today and am proud to say that it is still alive after a month. That's a big step. It's a jade from my friend.

  35. Happy Earth Day. What a fine giveaway. My favorite sweater is the purple cobalt blue cardigan with the bright yellow trim. I've been making mittens this winter with one of my friends. We had a real "Factory" going for awhile.

  36. I love the [676] Soft patterned wool sweater. =)

    ReplyDelete
  37. The chocolate merino wool sweater (680) is one that I would like to wear "as is" or, depending on the size, turn into a cardigan of some sort.

  38. I tried a new Earth Day project with my students today. They had never heard of the idea, and loved it. I am excited to hear their stories about giving the May Day baskets away... Check out the details: http://mamatave.blogspot.com/2010/04/earth-day-may-day-baskets.html

  39. Here's my green thing of the day for yesterday. I actually got out of my car at a stop light and picked up a large piece of newspaper that was blowing across the road. Then I brought it home and recycled it! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  40. I like the pink #669 - as I am collecting purples, royal blues and pinks. However, I have no pinks yet! Thanks for a fun giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I would love the two wool skirts that you have listed there - I'd dye the wool and use it in one of my hooked rugs - YUM!

  52. I can't possibly pick only one sweater that I like the best, it just seems so unfair to all the others, but I was able to narrow it down to two. #639 Soft pink lambswool fair isle sweater and #676 Soft patterned wool sweater.
