I've got a couple pairs of shutters that I've been hanging onto for a while now, waiting for the perfect application. I still don't know what I'm going to do with them but my mind-wheels are turning and inspiration is everywhere.
Go into any antique mall or thrift shop and you're bound to find a variety of sewing notions ready for repurposing. Here's just a few quick projects to get you inspired and thinking outside the box.
I don't have the heart to cut an old sewing machine in half but I really love this idea. So cute!

What a great idea. You'll find jars and jars full of spools here at #TheFrog.

Thimbles are one of my favorite finds. So many jewelry options with them.

Measuring tapes also have so many applications. Cute as a bracelet, shorter lengths for charms or pendants.

Never would of thought to use flower frogs to store scissors. How cute is that?

Sewing baskets always have a variety of bobbins perfect for jewelry making.

Such a cute idea for a teapot... pin cushion in the lid and storage for supplies and notions in the pot. Love it!

People are so creative. I never would of thought to use a butter dish for a sewing kit. How cute is that? Might have to make me one of these, you know, for all the sewing I do.

Great travel sewing kit from an eyeglass case. I've got quite a few of these. Great repurpose idea. |

One more creative pincushion idea. So many beautiful teacups that'd make gorgeous pincushions. Recently found more Pinterest posts using jello molds and the like. Such cute ideas. |
