That's probably a totally made up word but it seems to fit - a craft version of recycling. What do you do when you ruin a loved piece of clothing? Curse and lament or give it a new lease of life?
A friend accidentally shrank a favourite cardigan and couldn't bring herself to part with it. I volunteered to make 'something' out of it. I settled on a cushion cover and pieced it together along with one of my 'ruined' items. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, despite being a bit scrappy inside because of all the awkward shapes.
The applique was stitched with wool using buttonhole and split stitch.
