The Crown Jewel of Eco-Chic: Women’s Maxi Kaftan Handmade from Recycled Silk

Once upon a time, in the heart of a bustling city, there stood a boutique that seemed to whisper stories of the past while offering a vision of the future. Unlike its sleek, impersonal neighbors, this boutique radiated charm and individuality. Its walls displayed garments that were more than just fashion—they were art, each piece crafted with care and a deep respect for the planet. Among the many…

Ma handed me a silk shirt to repair and whilst I’m always up for a challenge I’m starting to think this one should have been an upcycle rather than repair job, because that last picture? That’s almost 3m of thread and I’m not even halfway through the tears in one direction

Edit:

Closer, but still a fair ways to go.

# Bella Freud ‘Marlene’ silk shirt

[wandaluvstacos]

I lost the bobbin cover for my sewing machine so I can't use it until a new one comes in the mail. IN the meantime, I've been hand sewing everything for this "practice" jacket, which I'm making in preparation for the real jacket which will be made from wool I spent $180 on. This has four fucking layers, lol. There's the outer layer, the interlining (made from a lovely Hulk-themed flannel I bought just to use for mock-ups, so I didn't mind sacrificing it as interlining), the silk lining, and another fabric to strengthen the silk, since it is THIN (makes sense, considering it was from damaged sari silk fabric I found on ebay; no need for warm or strong fabric in 115F weather lol). Because the silk is so thin, I've been hand sewing it to the interfacing fabric along the edges as a way to keep it all from fraying.

my hand sewing is not pretty but it gets the job done. And like I've said, it's weirdly meditative.

The real jacket will be knee length with a capelet, so it uses a ton of fabric. I didn't want to use 6 yards of fabric to make a practice jacket, so this one is only hip-length.

This is the coat I will eventually be making. I had to do a lot of fucking around with the mockup to get it to fit right. Always do mock-ups before you cut anything, lol.

Apparently will fall for a marketing technique that is literally just the vendor pointing at me and saying "yes this will even fit your breasts"

Still in tidy-up mode. Very reluctantly, I’ve added one of my favourite ongoing spinning projects to Etsy: recycled sari silk sourced from Fibrehut, currently in purple, red and gold colourways. I have blue on my spindle right now; it may end up on Etsy too, if I don’t get a tableloom before anyone clears me out of this.

Let me know if you’re interested and have any questions.

Done! Pressed and finished. Left some areas where the tear becomes part of the structure of the visible mend, for funsies. (And because after securing the tears from getting any bigger I lost the will to deal with them)

How much silk, exactly, will it take to fix me?

[things-from-strings]

😍😍😍

GOD this came out good!! NO idea what to turn it into!!

i have been thinking about learning to weave tho, so i could get an art yarn stash going now... i mean, i already spin & crochet; why stop there? i could see a woven piece preserving the cool little details of this yarn better than in crochet, since it's a more 2D medium.
