Recycling a Scrub Top


I saw this scrub top at the swap meet and thought that the print was so cute. It was only $2 so I got it.

I used the bottom half to make a tote. I left everything intact, including the buttons and the pockets, and lined it with some denim material. I used one of the sleeves to make the handles.

I made a smaller tote bag with the top half of the back of the scrub and the second sleeve.

With the remaining scraps I made a pouch . . .

You are SO good at making stuff!

Consider starting a side business. I just opened an account on Etsy.com - haven't listed anything yet but I am impressed with how easy it is. I have tried selling on ebay and Amazon, as well as Artfire.com but I like how Etsy combines all the best of the positives of each site and it seems easy to do.

Probably the hardest thing to do (so think about it first) is choosing the name of your "shop". Cannot have spaces or symbols. Just your first name would be good, but not sure if it is available.

You really are SO good!

Thank you, Julie!

Thanks, Aunty! I often look at things on Etsy. I like to get ideas from there. I'm really too unambitious to try to sell anything.

LOL. Thanks, Kay!

Thank you, Susan~

Cute yah, Les!

Only small kine, N.

Hey Shun Wah! I kinda just measure.

No more that problem, Mark. My mind is very simple. Hahahaha.

Thanks Kat!
