Ok, so this is the item that's inspired by my Boro Bag, which I've almost finished...couldn't resist decorating this denim waistcoat with Boro style patches...modelled here by our very own 'Sue'.

Listed now on my Etsy site

Handles made...sides sewn and corners boxed...so close to finishing!!!

I have to say that I've loved the process...so relaxing after a day of... sewing?!? I know what mean!!!

Surely this can't go on...an article in yesterday's Daily Mail highlights what happens to clothes when Charity shops discard them.
The article was included in a section of the paper that requires subscription, but a very similar article...in fact almost word for word, was posted 2 years ago.
So where does the respondsibility lie?
With clothes manufacturers? With the general public? With less than satisfactory means to dispose of unwanted/no longer useable/fashionable garments?
From a personal standpoint, and due in no small measure to the horror with which I read said article, I have made a decision not to buy any more 'New' clothes...I was almost there anyway having shopped in such select stores as The Salvation Armani for many years now.
The ONLY exceptions will be underwear...I'm not prepared to compromise on that!!!
I'll let those of you who care know how I get on!!!

Traders at Kantamanto market in Ghana import a staggering 15 million garments a week, but roughly 40 percent of each bale ends up as waste, the OR Foundation environmental group says.

Made a lining...sewn by hand of course...this gives the bag a nice neat finish...just some tidying up to do then attach the handles. I'm loving this relaxing process ☺️

Brilliant day yesterday... crafting with Georgia. Painted a Fairy door, made a Little Bits box for each other, a Singers Sign and several tiny gift plaques...what a blissful day. Does anyone else think that Crafting is one of the best therapies out??

Load of beads lying in my craft space...see video. I don't think I will be using them any time soon...collect only... Please DM me if you are interested...I can split into smaller lots... for anyone just starting a jewellery sideline, or for a child that would love to experiment with crafting.
