Recycled Memories - Recycling (oder "recyckelte") Erinnerungen

I'm working on recycled memories. The upper fabric was found in Sweden a couple of months ago. It was a woven dish cloth.
The second one is an IKEA bedcloth I teared apart as I noticed I don't have enough fabric for the back of the piece I'm making.
Both made it to the front too. I couldn't cover them all. Both Swedish, a slow cloth and an industrial made one, a fast one. Yesterday and today. But both worn out. Both useful. Now even more useful.
They shall live for another while...

Ich arbeite auf recycling "recyckelte" Erinnerungen. Ich habe den oberen Stoff in Schweden vor ein Paar Monate gefunden. Es war ein altes  Geschirrtuch.
Das Zweite ist ein IKEA Polsterbezug. Ich habe ihn auseinander genommen, weil ich nicht genug Stoff für den Rücken hatte.
Beide kommen auch auf der rechten Seite vor. Ich konnte sie nicht ganz bedecken. Beide aus Schweden, ein "langsamer Stoff" und ein "schneller industrieller Stoff". Gestern und Heute. Beide abgetragen, beide nützlich. Jetzt noch einmal nützlich. Sie sollen noch eine Weile leben...

    It is such a good idea to try to find ways of using fabrics we already have, rather than having to buy new ones for our textile works. We also have the bonus of giving new life to the memories woven into those old fabrics.

    Excellent ideas. There are many different ways to recycle such a thing like what you did. Sometimes it is useful to recycle things and you also have a good idea of artwork and as a contribute to our society it can help make our environment clean and green.
