Most recent finish — patched these 501’s with t-shirt scraps I wove together and then added a bunch of stitches to hold it in place.
What denim Pac-Man are you today?
That is the most accurate statement I’ve ever read.
I love how this chair turned out! It was actually a fairly quick project—I’d already done some of the denim patchwork. And now I have a chair pocket for snacks!!

Did shibori dying today it was super fun. We didn’t really follow the instructions…

Current project: recovering this chair with patchwork denim. So far I’ve done a great job taking it all apart…
I’m so proud of how this dress turned out. I just love turning scraps or discarded fabrics into something beautiful that I know I’ll wear.

I have this sweatshirt that is super comfy but I don’t love the colors of the screen print, so I’m experimenting by embroidering with Sashiko thread on top. I think I like it… not totally sure where this will end up.

Not that I needed an excuse, but I decided to make an upcycled patchwork dress for H+H next week.
I’m newly obsessed with using a flatlock stitch to make patchwork.
Anyone else heading to H+H Americas in Chicago next week?

Yep, I’m going to a trade show for new product when my focus is upcycling and secondhand. But that’s exactly where we need more sustainable voices!

To create real change you can’t just yell into an echo chamber, you need to reach out.
You might be wondering, what the heck is that? Well, it’s old jeans I made into appliqués I made into a clockwork orange bear wearing a hat and sunglasses that I’m now making into a shirt to wear to a sustainable fashion event for San Francisco Climate Week. Duh.

I think my cat is broken. She almost fell asleep sitting like this.

I visited the scrap exchange last year and loved it! Such a great space.
No time like the present to start shopping secondhand! I will be sharing other states this week and Canada. These are all small businesses and/or non-profits ❤️♻️

My favorite play in the world. There is a PBS version from the 80’s that I used to watch all the time growing up.
My mom’s photos from her protest in Santa Rosa, CA.
I just remembered to post it. I can’t sew past sundown because I refuse to use lights that actually produce light, and instead stick to pretty vintage ones 😅
