Upcycled and Stitched Paper Basket
Don’t you love this basket? Look closely; can you tell what it’s made of? Barb Lake, BERNINA at Fancyworks, Marissa, IL, recycled packing paper and stitched up a sturdy basket to use for displays. She told me, “I just couldn’t send all that good paper into the recycling bin!”

Meet Dress Upcycle Challenge Winner Erin Walker!
It’s hard to believe my stroll into Beatnik Betty’s would turn out like this!! When BERNINA staff suggested I send a picture of my sewing room, I actually laughed out loud. My sewing room consists of an overcrowded and un-organized craft closet, and an old table my 2-year-old uses for crafts in our office/playroom!
