Kathryn’s Work
it’s good for the Planet 🌎
Using the fabrics you’d rather not put against your skin, if you can get it into strips, it can be put into a rug! That’s what makes this the craft of the #TrashRich! It keeps textiles out of the landfill and lets you give them new life as a household treasure.
