Upcycling with used coffee bags.

I have been collecting coffee bags for the past two years mostly because I wanted to be able to make something new. Upcycling is a huge part of my sewing. I do it because I like to see what is possible to redesign and how I can make something new from an old product.  It has started to become part of my thoughts on sustainability. What can I do with the things I live on and use in my everyday life in a sustainable way?

So, during the last day’s of packing (down)  my apartment I realised I had too many blankets 🤪 and needed something or somewhere to put them in  my new apartment.

I started to sew coffee bags together, and realised how many I needed 🤪 and actually had 😯😅.

Here am I just sewing bags together.
Here is one of the sides becoming the actual size.
During my sewing I realised I needed  stability on the four sides 😅😆. I used old cardboard boxes.
Four of five sides on.
Here us it full with blankets and floor pillows 🤩.

I got exactly what I had need of 🤩😍.   I just wished I had a semi-sewing machine 🙂🙃. For those of you who don’t know what a semi-sewing machine is, they have a longer sewing arm for bigger projects 😉. And they are for house hold, the next step in sewing machine is the industry type.

I hope I have inspired some of you to do more out the  everyday things you have at home and upcycling for our world’s future!

Remember to have fun when you are creative!
