Back in the day Malden Mills sold 40 pound bags of their factory scraps. You never knew what you would get, but you got a lot. There were restrictions, like I am not allowed to say the trademark name of the fabric. The material I used here is definitely made from recycled plastic, as were all the pieces I received. While these monsters are a bit worse for the wear, and were made for my kids a while ago, they are a good example of reuse of plastic as well as fabric remnants.
Pattern or design used: My own design - Carrie Wilson
