Shirt Recycling

My most popular elephant mobiles are my yellow and grey colour combinations, and whilst I have not struggled to find yellow and white fabric scraps to use for the details, I have found it very hard to find suitable grey options.

On another note, my strange boyfriend, in the winter, sleeps in shirts. Yes, you read that right. It's weird. His logic is that he's worn the shirt in the day so it's silly to get a T-shirt dirty to wear to bed. I don't think he quite understands that he could wear pyjamas but never mind, it's getting warmer so he should stop soon.

So one night, he rolled over, and there was the unmistakable 'crrrkkkk' of ripping fabric. Rather than offering to mend it, I immediately thought 'oh good, that's perfect for my mobiles' and so pounced on it, and have already started chopping it up. 

So, in my favoured spirit of recycling, here are some of my latest mobiles with the perfect, soft grey and white striped fabric.
