I have saved our old clothes in the basement for years now in fields where hope, new ways to use it for. The problem was that whenever I had a idea and ran to my sewing machine to work on it, I would spend trying to get the hours @ # % * &$ * ing machine to work. The frustration was high, the productivity was low and most projects in tears with a mess of thread ends and bundled up fabric.
Last weekend, J got me a new sewing machine as early holiday gift and I am finally learn that sew hobby can be stress-relieving instead a stress induzierende. I am amazed how easy it is to give new life make old clothes and repairs, to things like I would keep in action.
Since I only learn how to sew am, I decided, that I would only use substances I already have - old shirts, sweaters, leaves, Pants-but I've been having so much fun, I think I can hit secondhand stores and consignment shops looking for "new" website if I exhausted my stash.
Suddenly, a shirt with a stain on it no problem, because I can make use of the tissue around it. I took buttons from old shirts, and I think it is quite possible that I never have to buy another! Earlier this week, I went a rock (see above) from an old, ill-fitting sweater using this AutoMotoTV video as a guide, and improvise with a second frills stuff when the original score was a bit too short for my modesty layer. It was so easy! And I'm working on a gift for J which I spoil promise to show as I am no longer risk the surprise for him!
I also just started reading the sweater Chop Shop: one-of-a One-of-a-kind creations from recycled sweaters 
During the actual sewing machine not necessarily a green gift it me grant is to reduce and reuse in some really fun ways.
