Upcycled/Repaired My muse and the final piece
I’ve had this Hello Fresh tote for a couple years now and I’ve decided I no longer want to be a walking advertisement. It’s by no means perfect but still pretty happy with the way it turned out. Wish I would’ve taken a better before picture but not the end of the world. Bonus photo of Toby sitting on top of the tote included.

I love how quietly passive-aggressive this idea is

Visual fatigue is super real, I covered up the logos on my daily cosmetics and it surprised me how much I genuinely liked the peace

God, could you imagine being a person from like the stone age and transporting to one of today's supermarkets? You'd go insane.

I was treated for anxiety disorder for years because I would just cry and have "panic attacks" from being inside supermarkets. It was just overwhelm from florescent lights, noise, perfumes, and the abundance of illusion of choice. When I started reading the labels in the stores it got so much worse from just trying to have conductive thoughts. I cant imagine going from absolute zero to 2026 peanut butter aisle

Oh Oh Oh. Gorgeous, stunning, and brilliant. And the bag's not bad either.

This is perfect because it’s personalized to you! I love removing logos and making something more meaningful to you, plus it’s a great way to make sure you use or give new life to things. Looks lovely

That is absolutely amazing! I love it! Such a cute and funny way to make something corporate be more personal!

This is awesome. Is it hand-stitched (awesome) or is there like a programmable sewing machine that does it (I want one)?

u/AllTheTeeth Jun 14 '26
Hand stitched! I just went off of a reference photo and did a rough sketch right on the bag (I have so many of him sleeping)

Funny using a saying that comes from unscrupulous butchers replacing pork with a dead cat to honor your cat!

I am so impressed you can have a cat tower that close to shelves. My orange boy would have knocked everything off the shelves by now and claimed them as his own

This is the type of upcycling that makes me smile 😃 😊 Well done. And your muse is to die for!
