What's your relationship with fabric shopping? I just published a post about WHY BUYING LESS FABRIC IS GOOD FOR YOUR MIND (AND THE ENVIRONMENT) 👇👇

Learning how to weave! New hobbies are always so exciting! Loving the process so far and the results aren’t that bad either. Preparing the loom took forever, that’s for sure the most annoying part. The actual weaving… https://t.co/ocp4sSGc5d

Spend the afternoon mending and fixing some clothes which I found really satisfying.
Mended two nightgowns, a pair of jeans, and two T-shirt’s!
Swipe to see how I fixed a broken zip, a hole in a jersey T-shirt and… https://t.co/oTuLy7BGT1

#memademay outfit today is a @sewoverit Mia Jeans and a @burdastyle top plus a super adorable dog that wouldn’t stop photobombing! I’ve had trouble taking pics of all the outfits for the last couple days as I keep… https://t.co/30HIL2uh6J

#memademay outfit today is an Agnes Dress I made from the Agnes Top pattern by @tillybuttons in a pretty floral jersey fabric. I love this type of dress as it can be dressed up or down according as the occasion… https://t.co/7DfltqjPFu

#memademay day 15: I haven’t worn this Agnes Top in forever so yesterday’s me made day was a good reason to give it a go. I fell in love with it again and will definitely wear it more often. Btw haven’t been skipping… https://t.co/p21hiYl8AV

#memademay today is hot off the sewing machine! My recent make is a @sewoverit Meredith wrap dress. I think I never made a wrap dress to date so it was way overdue! Had this on my to sew list forever. It was a quick… https://t.co/F8MwcJoRMB

#memademay day...10? I managed to wear handmade all weekend. Apparently I do have lots of comfy dresses and tops to wear at home, not just sweats. This is an Alice Top by @sewoverit in a cute b/w owl print jersey.… https://t.co/Ldzaoju4g3

#memademay day 9! It’s another hot summer day and today I’m wearing a Hepburn Dress by my own mini pattern „company“ Audrey&Me. It’s the scooped neck version. The pattern comes is a couple of variations and the… https://t.co/BPDWzBzacL

#memademay day 8: we had the loveliest weather today so I could finally wear my favourite summer dress, a Florence Dress by @sewoverit again! I fell in love with maxi dresses last year and finally have to get started… https://t.co/YCnvKy0lOx

#memademay day 6... I kinda skipped day 5 because I was wearing the exact same thing as before due to slouchy working from home life. I’ve struggled to dress up when at home all day. Today I wore one of my favourite… https://t.co/Q2jtcnqk0n

#memademay2020 day 2: it’s the weekend so I wasn’t planning on posting a pic today, but since I’m wearing handmade socks that counts, right? Plus, I’m spinning wool today, sorting fibres into different colour ways… https://t.co/KOQk6Cln8Z

[ThisBlogIsNotForYou @tbinfy]

Trying my best to participate in #memademay this year! It’s a bit of a challenge as I live in sweats and am living the #nobralife on weekends and when working from home. I hope it makes me put on some nice clothes… https://t.co/WXfeXroglM

If seeing an anti-fabric shopping headline doesn’t do it for you, how about some nude photography involving fabric stashes and an artist doll? 👀 New blog post 👉🏻 Link in profile

I really enjoyed this super simple jeans mending/upcycling project (back in December!). Swipe to see how I did it. It took longer than I thought but was worth every minute. I’ve been wearing this pair of jeans a lot… https://t.co/0uqCIfX1L8

Just another weird day at work. Instead of having kids over for therapy I now sew masks. Making kid-sized masks makes me really sad sometimes... but seeing the kids loving and wearing their masks happily is quite a… https://t.co/nxHJjHH0DR

[ThisBlogIsNotForYou @tbinfy]

Tip #2 for mass mask production: I’ve figured out a way to sew one type of mask that can be used for elastic or ribbon. I simply made the elastic encasing a bit wider, so I can also thread though cotton tape which I… https://t.co/ttJ35ZdrY9

[ThisBlogIsNotForYou @tbinfy]

Here’s a tip for saving time and thread on mass mask production: don’t cut off thread ends after each seam. If you sew continuously and cut the thread later, you save a lot of thread and it’s also so much faster!… https://t.co/khBxRxSvZw
