Description
I had an old coverlet that still had a beautiful texture, but suffered from a huge hole in the center, and some discoloration. It was a great inspiration for the latest Recycle MiniChallenge Contest.
I used it to make a super cozy Esther cardigan. I tea-dyed the fabric to even out the coloration of the fabric.
Material Notes
recycled coverlet fabric tea (for dying the fabric)

Wow, I love what you have created here, gorgeous texture and colour and best of all, its recycled! You have inspired me, I must make this esther, not sure I have anything so lovely to cannibalise though..

what a lovely Esther from a beautifully textured fabric! The tea-dying is such a great idea and it looks very comfy!
I also really like your pictures- they are very clear and the lighting is great :]

Thanks for the nice comments!
I forgot to mention that I set up a How To for dying fabric with tea—see the link above under “Related How To’s.”

I am reasonably new to sewing and have never heard of tea dying. Can you please explain what it is? Your Esther looks good by the way!
