My grandmother gave me a bag of old shoulder pads from the 70's, and 80's. The larger the pads got, the closer to the 80's I knew I was getting. I didn't want to throw them out, so I did some research. Fellow blogger at refashionista.net had a whole post on what she did with shoulder pads.
I was inspired by her, and I wanted to try to create some of the projects she created.
My hubby is the chef of the family, and has burned his hand more times than my 4 year old can count. (She can count to 39 by the way) so I sewed one of the larger pads down the long side, and turned it inside out. It was like a really skinny pocket. But it fit perfectly on the handles of the pots and pans.
Yay! no more burns!
My sunglasses from my Prada refashion broke! I know....so sad. You can check out that post HERE
I'm not very gentle with my sunglasses, but I learned my lesson.
I will have to thrift some new ones to replace those red puppies. I vowed to NOT let that happen again, so I took two of the big red pads, I mean HUGE...80's I'm sure. I sewed them together, trimmed the extra fabric, and flipped it inside out! It is a perfect pouch to keep my other pair of sunnies safe and sound.

There ya go! Two cool things you can do with old shoulder pads!
