DIY Fashion & Recycling: ThreadBanger
Video Demo: How to Crochet Flower Appliqués with Used Yarn & Making Recycled Sleeping Bags
Compiled by Vicki McClure Davidson
ThreadBanger's Rob and Corinne, with Corinne's Aunt Net, are in Pennsylvania and demonstrate the art of crocheting, using used yarn from an old homemade afghan found at the recycling center. Aunt Net demonstrates how to crochet flower appliqués. Recycled yarn or new yarn can be used for the project.
Also in this episode of ThreadBanger, the Bag Ladies of Coryland Church, a local church group of devoted women volunteers, make one-of-a-kind sleeping bags for the homeless using only recycled materials. All the sleeping bags are made by hand.
