REPURPOSING
Each month we will add another example of repurposing to illustrate how an item which may have
outlived its original function can be made useful again, with a little innovation. Have you got an
example of repurposing?  If you'd like to share, send us a photo and description-we'll post it here.
Reclaimed materials of all descriptions
are like gold to fashion repurposer
