I must have at least five or six big boxes of former clothes around waiting to be &#8220;used&#8221;. In the past, I have made rags from these but as I have employed a cleaning lady for almost ten years now, my use of rags is nowhere near high enough to eat up the piles of t-shirts and other fabric junk accumulating in the house. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bojnberry\/6474906215\/\" title=\"CIMG8075 by bojnberry, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7156\/6474906215_6643c7bd7a.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"CIMG8075\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When I do manage to upcycle a piece of clothing, I am really happy. This is the story of my old winter coat. I got it at the Bay for $25 a year before Trevor was born and wore it until last winter. I really should not have been wearing it last two years as it was already ripped and worn, but my frugality and lack of time to go and buy a new coat won. Last spring I finally washed and stored it in one of many &#8220;potential project&#8221; boxes littering around. <\/p>\n<p>As the weather got colder I noticed all these moms with nice stroller bags and I convinced myself to get one. I am planning on taking long walks this winter and an extra layer to protect  my little cheese factory form the cold would be just the thing. Well, I took the old coat, sewed sleeves and the bottom part and voila &#8211; a baby bag!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bojnberry\/6474911823\/\" title=\"CIMG8183 by bojnberry, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7022\/6474911823_01f288499e.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"CIMG8183\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And the obligatory action shot&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bojnberry\/6477596179\/\" title=\"CIMG8184 by bojnberry, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7146\/6477596179_2b11c33183.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"CIMG8184\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am pleased as Punch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of many reasons my house is full of junk is that I have hard time throwing out stuff that could be useful some time later.
