Scarf repurposed
 

I had a length of non slip rug gripper that was gathering dust. Elbo very kindly gave me some old buttons, an aran cardigan I was looking for, some other bits and bobs and a large scarf.

Now, Spring is here and the "Summer" (yeah, right!) is coming so I don't need a scarf do I? So......I made a new rug for the floor by cutting the scarf in two, stitching it side by side and stitching the non slip lining underneath.
Now I have a cosy rug for the floor!

Also, Kildarechick, very kindly gave me some lilac felt pieces. I have a WIP (work in progress) so I'll be adding that to this when it is done.
Thank you both, Elbo and Kildarechick. Watch this space to see those mauve squares turned into something nice. What could it be? Any guesses?

I'll give 10 yoyos to a charity of your choice to the person who gets closest to it. Go on - have a guess.

UPDATE: EIbhlin Ni Shambreai guessed it right as a pair of baby booties. I have sent a cheque to Temple Street for the Cystic Fibrisis Unit.
I have added a photo of the finished booties. Thanks to all who took part in the fun of guessing.

What a good idea, looks really cool

great idea for the scarf unapam!!! Go on give us a clue to what your wip might be??? What size are the felt pieces??

Thanks for the comment Pepperpixie...the felt pieces measure 9 by 12" or 23 x31cm and there are two of them and I will use both with very little left over but I will even use that for something! Clue = think small.

You are just amazing, as usual, Unapam. Never would have guessed that scarf would turn into a mat! Brilliant.

I could think and think Unapam, but I would never guess what you might do next.........................

i love the rug :) is it a purse? lol

The rug is gorgeous Unapam, wish I had your skill, patience & ideas!!

unapam, ok taking your clue of small i am thinking along the lines of furry undergarments???

you are just amazing!! who could have imagined a floor mat with that? great job. well done. Ur next work may be...........fone jacket?

No, not a purse. But hey you are giving me ideas!

No, not a phone jacket...but could be. I'll have to get some more of this to make one of those.! Good guess though.

New Clue
 

I have now made this THING
I'll give more clues to help you along. I made a pair from ONE of the sheets of felt (and used white felt as the lining) and am in the process of making another Pair of them from the second one....I said think small....so now think very small...very young.

New clue: I showed them to a friend and she promptly ordered a pair in Yellow for Easter! An actual commission for my work.

Does that help? or cause more confusion?
OK last clue for today...can be worn but wont ever be worn out by the wearer.

guess the thing
 

Hi Unapam, it has to be a pair of baby bootees, to be worn but never worn out (cos they'd get wet or dirty outside). Love the floor mat, definitely you are the Queen of Re-cycle--in the soft furnishings dept at least. Happy Easter to you and all you love, Eibhlin.

Hi Unapam. Fantastic as usual. You are just so creative the mind boggles. Maybe you are making a teacosy or a little cosy to keep your boiled egg hot - an eggcup cosy. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing and Happy Easter.

Yes, I agree with Eibhlin. A pair of babies booties it has to be.
But of course knowing you Unapam, the leftover bits could be used for anything, purse, handbag, table mats, the mind boggles at what you will come up with next. Keep up the good work.

booties
 

Bingo Eibhlin! I have them done but can't get a pic up til next week as am away.

What charity do you want to nominate?

Cheers pam :-)

cute!!!

i looked at em and saw felt hahaha

Cystic Fibrosis Research please. Thanks Pam, Happy Easter. Eibh.

Cystic Fibrosis Research it is so. Does anyone know where they are so I can PIF (pass it on?)

cf research
 

Temple Street Childrens Hosp have just opened a new CF unit so you could send it there, in memory of my son Fergal who was a CF patient there for twelve years. His anniversary is 9th next Friday, so very appropriate. Thanks, Eibh.

Hi Eibhlin, will sort at out when the banks open again and post receipt on here. Take care, Pam

vase cover
 

i say your going to blanket stitch the two pieces together, and use it to cover a jam jar that will be holding a bunch of flowers....

admittedly, this is a very specific guess.. lol

oh i just saw, someone guessed already!

so close and yet, so very far....lol

Photos added
 

I have added the photo of the booties as correctly guessed by Eibhlin. :-)

They are so cute. Fabulous work. The stitching around the edging perfect of course. Brilliant idea.

Booties
 

Aww they're so cute. Love the neat stitching!!

The bootie are so cute :)

gorgeouse!!!! wish i had such skills. its really beautiful. well done

how beautiful.

how did you m,ake em? i want to try make a little pair for my godchildren

Hi i love your ideas they are lovely

Hi, I used a pattern dating from 1948 which has been re-issued. I think I bought it on Ebay or Etsy. It is by Simplicity There are lots of these patterns available on the net both for sale and for free.

No machine needed as they are all hand stitched with blanket stitch using emboidery thread.
They are quite easy as made from felt which does not fray and needs no hemming. They take about two to three hours to make a pair.

....
 

well done!!
great imagination

you done a great job :)

..
 

Just wanted to say what a wonderfully talented and thoughtful person you are..

Keep up the good work..
