Following the success of my last post, reporting my fabric stash sort out (I haven't lost any fabric in weeks) I have now gone through my two year old's wardrobe and selected all the clothes that she has outgrown and are suitable to upcycle.
I have got big plans for this project, and will be offering this as a service from Jan 2012 but for now I am just turning them into cute little cats. They have to be little as the clothes are teeny tiny too :)
The finished article will be posted shortly, but here is the work in progress...

Love seeing work in progress. Can't wait to see finished result adn more of your new project :oDD
Wish boys clothes were as exciting as girls for recycling.

yes patchworkandlace I have used some in patchwork too it's a really nice thing to do and the results are unique.
I'll post once finished, I guess you could do something with the denim? The cat I am making is from a denim dress, maybe there isn't enough large bit of cloth in boys clothes though? x
I too like making from old clothes, wish I had known about it when mine were small!

This project was really born out of a major issue I have... I just can't bear to part with the gorgeous little dresses, I do wish she wasn't quite so small though as projects are a bit limited by the tiny pieces.
