Maggie's Threads

Pouches, Pouches, Pouches! I have added new listings in my Etsy shop - www.Etsy.com/shop/MaggiesThreads - for my new collection of drawstring pouches. Hope you all go take a look at them. You know you need one!

It's Earth Day. Do something nice for your planet.

Growing up, I remember watching my dad spend hours repairing appliances and household items to get a few more years of use out of them. He would also create useful tools by repurposing; case in point, he combined a lively lad with a golf club so he could practice his swing while doing yard work. I read that America discarded 11.1 million tons of fabric in 2010. This wound up in our landfills, taking up lots of space and creating methane gas. I am trying to do my part by upcycling and repurposing materials in the items I make for my Etsy shop.

I just posted these three removable collars on my Etsy shop. I'm really excited about venturing into neckwear. The removable collar idea just seems to be a great way to stretch your clothing budget. Hope you all can head over to Etsy and take a look. Let me know what you think.
