CatwalkRepurposing

10/31/25: 4 Pounds of Sherrill's crochet kids' hats are on their way to Hope for Appalachia; 25 hats that will help keep Appalachian children warm this winter :) We are grateful to our awesome friend Virginia, who has worked hard to source all the yarn needed to make these hats. Virginia, you are the best!!! Thank you to Virginia and to all our wonderful customers whose support helps to make this donation possible!! We are committed to making this children's hat donation every year!

10/10/25: Catwalk Repurposing is once again crocheting away for charity! Sherrill is making lots of kiddie's hats, which will be going to Hope for Appalachia so the children can stay warm this winter! Crocheting every evening so that we'll have a nice box of hats to send by the end of this month :)

10/27/24: There's a large box on the way to Hope for Appalachia :) All the kids' hats and scarves Sherrill has crocheted during the past 5 months will be on their way tomorrow morning....32 soft, warm hats and 11 cozy scarves! We hope this helps the kids of Appalachia stay warm and comfy during the colder months. Big thanks to our good friend Virginia, who has given her time to source all the yarn for us, so that we were able to do something that means so much. Next up: little girls' dresses, made from our fabric scraps!

6/11/24: Catwalk Repurposing is now helping to clothe the children of Appalachia. Sherrill has begun crocheting and knitting hats, mittens and scarves for donation to Hope for Appalachia Virginia. These items will be given to needy children in Appalachia during the organization's pre-holiday visits with them. As you may know, we also save all our scraps from sewing projects, and many are used in making other, smaller items for our shop. We will now also be using these smaller scraps to make children's patchwork dresses for donation to the same organization. The immediate priority is for winter hats etc.; once we hit the Nov. 1 deadline for shipping those items, the focus will switch to little girls' dresses. This is all being done on a volunteer basis, so that we are able to do it in the evenings, etc. during hours not normally used for production of items for our shop. We hope to make a real difference for these families!

3/27/24: Welcome to our shop! Everything you see here has been handmade by us, Sherrill & Jim, in our Pennsylvania studio. Each item we create is one of a kind, made using our constantly fluctuating supplies, many of which are vintage. We don't make two items exactly the same; however, if you like the vibes of a certain piece, but would like it in a different color, size, etc please message us as it is possible we may be able to offer that as a custom make. Thank you for visiting our shop; we appreciate you!!

3/14/24: This is a great time of year to refresh your home decor. A handmade decoupage wall clock is just the thing! Bits of vintage ephemera are made into a unique and useful piece of wall art, with various themes from nature to music to humor. All meticulously handmade by Jim; add some whimsy to your decor that you'll enjoy every day!

1/1/24: Happy New Year to all our friends and followers! Why not start your new year with some handmade, unique art/home decor made by Jim, or some patchwork clothing handmade by Sherrill? (We also do custom work!) And don't forget your furry friends...we do offer upcycled denim cat toys and pet beds, complete with comfy insert and fully washable! Please reach out via messages if you have any questions or need more information. Thank you for visiting our small shop!

11/25/23: We've got lots of handmade items in our shop for gift-giving--propagation stations, wall spoon art, cat toys and beds, decoupage boxes and whimsical clocks, paperweights, shawls/scarves and other clothing! Come on in and check us out for your gift-giving; everything you see here was made right here in Pennsylvania, by Sherrill & Jim. Thanks for supporting small businesses!

10/9/23: All of the clothing we offer is made by Sherrill, on her antique 1911 Singer treadle machine (the only power it uses is her feet!) and her vintage 1959 electric Singer machine. There is joy in using these fabulous, 'old' machines, performing routine maintenance to keep them running smoothly, and using something perfectly good that might have otherwise ended up in a landfill. We never buy finished clothing and resell it--it is all made by hand, here in our Pennsylvania studio. If you are looking for one of our garments in a different size or color, please message us. We do take custom orders, and we may be able to help you out!

4/13/23: We're excited to announce the newest member of our team--Pearl! She is an antique Singer Red Eye 66 Treadle machine. Born in 1911, she was starting to show her age a bit...but thanks to my brother-in-law Tom, she's been cleaned up, oiled, and is sewing a beautiful stitch now, in her new home! Sherrill is working through the learning curve of treadling, and is getting a little better each day (it does actually take some coordination!) Pearl fits right into our philosophy of rescuing useful items from the fate of the dumpster. Pearl and Maggie (our vintage 1959 Singer) will form the core of our sewing studio. We have big plans for Pearl, particularly in the cat toys department, where we use a lot of nice straight stitch. Stay tuned for future developments! Tom, thank you for sending Pearl our way; we love her!
