A bottlecap badge embedded in yellow fabric. The design on the badge is a sticker that says 'Great!' highlighted with multicoloured plastic gems, all coated in a clear, eco-friendly resin, enhancing the vibrancy and shine of the colours

A low angle of a sewing table, in the foreground a pair of wired headphones, an extension lead and a purple sewing machine, behind which is a pile of assorted fabrics, clothes waiting to be mended, and a brown paper bag covered in ribbons. Behind that is a red shelving unit filled with storage suitcases and folders, a desk organiser filled with pencils and other crafting equipment, plus a few decorative items like a wooden figure and a framed cartoon artwork of a cat

I saw this idea on Pinterest and I decided to do it on one shelf of my bookcase (1/3)

A screenshot of an internet post showing a before and after of a DIY project, where they made mini shelves to go at the back of their bookshelves, and then they could have two rows of books on one shelf, and the back row is still visible. The text says '5 shelves turned into 10 i love a diy and room to grow'

I fixed a rip in my jeans leg about 2 weeks ago, just recently ripped them again, right in the bum 👍 #sewing #mending #jeans #slowfashion #handmade

Sealed vs unsealed - using a non-toxic resin. Btw, no one has messed with the saturation on this image, these badges are genuinely That Green

Two badges made of bottle caps on a lilac-painted wooden surface. The badges are a vibrant lime green, almost fluorescent, with a black initial, F on one badge and an R on the other, in a capitalised serif font. One is sealed with a thick coat of resin, smoothing out the textured surface considerably, compared to the other which is much less glossy and has pronounced texture from the brushstrokes and the dented bottle cap.

7 christmas crowns DONE 🥳
Do you like the beading? You'd better, it took AGES
#fashion #sewing #handmade #sustainable #recycled #slowfashion #birmingham #clothes #upcycled #accessories #repurposed #smallbusiness #localbusiness #art #crafts #ad #scrunchies #hat #badges #beading #christmas #crown

A hand holding a finished set of handmade christmas crowns, like the ones from christmas crackers, except reusable, stylish fabric. These ones are gold outside, some are lined with lilac satin and some with a red/purple iridescent fabric. They are all personalised with an initial in tiny red glass beads. The background is a wooden table covered in christmas things, like presents, lebkuchen, garlands of leaves, and oranges.

I've been commissioned to make these crowns for the whole family, to be worn year after year, high quality & sustainable, instead of the little paper crowns from the cracker that don't fit your head x
#ad #christmas #slowfashion #handmade #gold #fashion #sustainable #accessories #smallbusiness #hat

Just the very top of a head wearing a gold coloured fabric crown with a subtle pattern of vines within the fabric in a less shiny gold thread. Around the edges, a tiny bit of the lining is visible, a lilac satin. In the background, a painting on the wall has a handmade Christmas garland of bay leaves hanging over it.
