Recycle Sails

What can you do with old sailboat sails?
Katherine from reiter8 turns them into durable accessories
(e.g) tote bags, pouches, luggage tags...etc
Simple, unique and cool to carry them around.
Here are some fab designs to share:

lined with organic cotton and sail insignia cloth (K8)
ring pillow made from upcycled sailcloth with 'reefing' grommet that was perfect
to secure the rope to hold the wedding rings.
While thinking that waste is just something you throw away, recognize waste as a
desgin flaw and re-think that waste can be resourceful.
Thanks K8te!
