Hello 😊
Thank you, I'm using upcyceled jeans cut into strips, then wool to hold it together. What method did you use with the plastic bags?

Hi DrRelling.

Hello 😊
I've been having a little play around making baskets from upcyceled fabrics. My first attempt is a little small, so I'm going to make my next one a little bigger. Using the sewing method this time, the first one was the crochet method. 🧢πŸͺ‘
