These are both recons. The first is a "Bathina Bag" that is recon'd from old clothes. This was originally a really cute skirt with camo on the outside and black with white polka dots on the inside. I thought it was a super cute combination and couldn't just throw it out since it no longer fit. Unfortunately I forgot to take a before picture so I did the best I could after the purse was finished. You can see where it used to fit into the skirt. (This purse isn't really as small as it looks in the picture compared to my giant hand, it is approximately 9" wide)
My 2nd project is a monster plushie, I see these everywhere and think they are fantastic. You'll see that mine is Gumby-esque, I couldn't resist with the green fabric. I didn't use a pattern or anything, I just freehanded a shape, he isn't symetrical which I think gives him a more monster feel. :) The main body is from a tank top, the red on the head & hands is from a 2nd tank and the white of his eye is made from a plain t-shirt. I've decided to call him Tank because of his origins.
