Earlier this month, Leah announced our Warm and Fuzzy Giveaway – a giveaway of a pair of mittens from Edit Shoppe, a shop focusing on “stylish and sustainable clothing”.
The mittens that Edit Shoppe owner Joanne generously gave us are made of a recycled sweater originally sold at The Gap, as commenter Linda correctly guessed, winning her another entry in the giveaway.
There were 22 entries for the giveaway and our randomly chosen winner is…Carolyn! Congratulations Carolyn. We will be in touch to get these mitts out to you and keeping your hands warm as soon as possible.
I love how you can take something old that might go to a landfill and instead recycle it and make something useful out of it. You can also hold on to memories that might be associated with the clothing. These mittens reminded me of a sweater that Micaela had when we were kids – it was made out of the same red and pink striped fabric.
Have you ever recycled an item of old clothing? What did you do with it?
I’ve been feeling very creative lately, so I went to Michael’s and raided the clearance aisles. I looove headbands, even though they have trouble staying on my head (any pointers on that? haha), and I love to make them. These headbands are made of ribbon and fabric that I sewed on, and are the cutest things everr! Kaylee is wearing hers right now too!
