I haven't forgotten, we'll be starting next week, not strictly on the 1st. Doing things a bit differently this year, it's going to be SLOWER.... If you haven't joined us before, #miymarch is a community Instagram challenge now in its 6th year. In previous years it's been a month long marathon of daily photo prompts, this year is going to be a weekly challenge with an overarching theme for the month, thoughtful blog posts and encouragement to think out of the box and try something a little different. There will be some beautiful prizes and a special guest taking over for week 3. Fancy joining us??Finally made a start putting together this hack of the Dylan Parka from my new book. I'm using beautiful (& local) #heartofhuddersfield 100% wool Yorkshire Melton from @fabworksmillshop Just hoping I finish it before the sunshine arrives.....🌞Here's how that over-dyeing experiment turned out. I'm really pleased with how it turned out as dyeing can feel a bit finaland scary. I used a @dylon_uk machine pod in "Jeans Blue". It's a lovely rich indigo blue, exactly what I had in mind and as well as the dress I also dyed a metre of cotton poplin which turned out a dream. Scroll to the last pic for a better pic of how the original stripes and checks still show through. . . #sustainablesewing #thoughtfulsewing #overdyed #overdyeing #sewingoffcuts #piecedclothes #beautifulscraps #remadewardrobe #remadefashion #remadetextile #remadefabric #recycledfabric #recycledtextiles #sustainablefashion #sustainabledressing #oneofakind #wearablepatchwork #fashioningpatchwork #leavenotrace #leavenowaste #recycledshirts #recycledclothing #secondlife #treasurenottrash #remakeitBeen working a bit differently in the last few weeks.
