For DIY curtains full of charm placed under the sign of recycling, create a mosaic full of softness with this assembly of old fabric handkerchiefs.
Ideas for recycling our textiles
Even if they are worn, out of fashion, with holes or stains, our textiles and old clothes still have the right to a second life. Nothing is lost, everything is transformed... even your old t-shirts, your used towels and your scraps of fabric. So many textiles, patterns, materials, colors and prints just waiting to be saved before ending up in the trash. For example, transform bed linen into a garland of pennants for a child's room, divert your old or holey sweaters into a patchwork plaid, or make a Tawashi sponge with worn t-shirts or tights. Ideas for creations that are easy to set up, which contribute to the preservation of our planet while using its creativity.
Sewing curtains with a patchwork of handkerchiefs
Fabric handkerchiefs as curtains? This is a creation that reflects our desire to change our consumption patterns, by mixing upcycling and diversion to decorate its interior. By rummaging through trunks in the attic, or hunting them down at flea markets, old fabric handkerchiefs become a base of choice for new textile creations. The colours, patterns and transparencies of the different handkerchiefs go together perfectly like a mosaic of fabric. Enough to create a real made-to-measure composition to dress your windows with made-to-measure curtains in a vintage spirit.
