Been working a bit differently in the last few weeks. Always refreshing and inspiring to step outside the comfort zone and try a new way of doing things. . . #creative #creativeprocess #creativelife #designprocess #maquette #thinkingoutsidethebox #adifferentapproach #sustainablesewing #designchallenge #mockingup #3dthinking #thinkingthroughmaking #newbook #newproject #nevernotmaking #nevernotthinkingaboutmaking #problemsolving #howisthatmade #howcanimakethatA few shots of that pieced shirts dress on before I subject it to the dye. Sod's law I'm looking at it with fresh eyes now and thinking "I really like that" but trying to not be too precious and just go for it. And to think this almost went in the "wave bye bye" pile when I had my recent stash sale.....🙄 How often have you made something, been a bit "meh" about it and then loved it when you dug it out again months later?! Worries me a bit as I'm in my new "efficient" phase of - if it's not getting used it has to go - and my strict "1 in 1 out" approach to life.....🤔 . . #dilemmasdilemmas #sustainablesewing #thoughtfulsewing #piecedclothes #piecedshirts #piecemaking #remadewardrobe #remadefashion #remadeclothes #recycledshirts #recycledclothes #sustainablefashion #sustainabledressing #oneofakind #fashioningpatchwork #leavenotrace #leavenowaste #recycledclothing #secondlife #treasurenottrash #remakeit #secondchanceclothing #beforeshotI made this dress from old shirts years ago. Dug it out of a storage bag this afternoon, tried it on and loved it all over again 🥰 I'm going to do a little experiment on it though ...... I'm ordering some dye.... . . #sustainablesewing #thoughtfulsewing #makedontstash #piecedclothes #beautifulscraps #remadewardrobe #remadefashion #remadetextile #remadefabric #recycledfabric #recycledtextiles #sustainablefashion #sustainabledressing #oneofakind #wearablepatchwork #fashioningpatchwork #leavenotrace #leavenowaste #recycledclothes #recycledshirts #recycledclothing #secondlife #treasurenottrash #remakeit #workinprogress #secondlifeclothes #remaking #refashioningThat's one gorgeous #felixsweatshirt from Sewing Basics for Every Body and that's one lucky Mr @faberwood_com 🖤 .
