Ideas for creating an upcycled blouse or dress:

• Reuse old thick vintage curtains, thick linen sheets or two old jeans put together.
• Backgrounds and pocket bags can be made from your fabric scraps.
• The back pockets can be made from small placemats to add a touch of originality to your shorts.
• Bermuda shorts are wonderfully made in patchwork.
