I am running a sale on my moths and other plushies for the holidays. The moths are ooak. Each moth is handmade by me. They are 18 inches tall with a 45-48 inch wingspan. Each moth has a weighted bottom. The moths are made of faux fur, minky, velvet and other upcycled fabrics.

Essas 2 blusas 100% lã foram fundidas uma na outra transformando peças problemáticas em uma outra peça que ficou incrível.

São duas blusas, a bege minha e a cinza do Rubens que eu lavei em água não suficientemente fria, elas encolheram demais e ficaram pequenas, a minha bege parecia roupa de criança.

Roupa de lã tem que ser lavada com agua gelada, eu esqueci disso e coloquei elas na máquina em dia quente, a própria água que saiu da torneira devia estar morna e fez elas ficaram impossível de usar. A minha é bem antiga e a do Rubens foi bem pouco usada.

Eu cortei primeiro a costura da blusa cinza, até salvei pra fazer um ornamento.

E alfinetei a bege mais ou menos na área de corte, assim pude visualizar melhor onde cortar.

Dessa vez eu não fiquei muito preocupada com o encaixe das cavas, preferi localizar melhor para que ficassem do mesmo tamanho, colocando a cinza por cima da bege eu encontrei a distância exata para cortar. Fiquei besta como deu certo.

Aqui da pra ver bem o perímetro que cortei, as mangas eu só dividi ao meio, minha intenção foi fazer com que as mangas fossem costuradas uma na outra aproveitando todo o tamanho delas.

Aqui já até tinha passado uma costura zigzag, mas é só pra ver como alfinetei de maneira bem simples.

O ponto zigzag sim, deve ser bem largo pra segurar bem as bordas, depois eu passei também costura reta em todas elas, são 4 vezes, juntar esquerda e direita frente e esquerda e direita costas.

Olha como ela ficou legal, modelagem super moderna, quentinha, combina com qualquer roupa de inverno. As mangas ficaram enormes e o comprimento ficou ótimo pro meu tamanho.

A surpresa foi o comportamento das peças que ao contrário do que a gente pensa, não desmancharam, não desfiaram, se comportaram como qualquer outro tecido, mas tem que tomar cuidado pra não ficar manuseando muito, são delicadas.

Agora também tenho que ter cuidado ao lavar, depois de pronta pus de molho numa bacia com água fria e gelo. Funcionou muito bem.

Fiz um vídeo narrando um pouco o processo:

“I’m wearing wore MACKIN by @haialexandraa. What inspired my style was the theme of the Bad Binch Tong Tong show. I wanted to highlight dimension by incorporating it into my outfit. The idea of blending something timeless with the grandeur of a cathedral fascinated me, so I combined these elements along so with my designer to create a look that felt both eternal and architectural.”

It’s an open secret in fashion. Unsold inventory goes to the incinerator; excess handbags are slashed so they can’t be resold; perfectly usable products are sent to the landfill to avoid discounts and flash sales. The European Union wants to put an end to these unsustainable practices. On Monday, [December 4, 2023], it banned the destruction of unsold textiles and footwear.

“It is time to end the model of ‘take, make, dispose’ that is so harmful to our planet, our health and our economy,” MEP Alessandra Moretti said in a statement. “Banning the destruction of unsold textiles and footwear will contribute to a shift in the way fast fashion manufacturers produce their goods.”

This comes as part of a broader push to tighten sustainable fashion legislation, with new policies around ecodesign, greenwashing and textile waste phasing in over the next few years. The ban on destroying unsold goods will be among the longer lead times: large businesses have two years to comply, and SMEs have been granted up to six years. It’s not yet clear on whether the ban applies to companies headquartered in the EU, or any that operate there, as well as how this ban might impact regions outside of Europe.

For many, this is a welcome decision that indirectly tackles the controversial topics of overproduction and degrowth. Policymakers may not be directly telling brands to produce less, or placing limits on how many units they can make each year, but they are penalising those overproducing, which is a step in the right direction, says Eco-Age sustainability consultant Philippa Grogan. “This has been a dirty secret of the fashion industry for so long. The ban won’t end overproduction on its own, but hopefully it will compel brands to be better organised, more responsible and less greedy.”

Clarifications to come

There are some kinks to iron out, says Scott Lipinski, CEO of Fashion Council Germany and the European Fashion Alliance (EFA). The EFA is calling on the EU to clarify what it means by both “unsold goods” and “destruction”. Unsold goods, to the EFA, mean they are fit for consumption or sale (excluding counterfeits, samples or prototypes)...

The question of what happens to these unsold goods if they are not destroyed is yet to be answered. “Will they be shipped around the world? Will they be reused as deadstock or shredded and downcycled? Will outlet stores have an abundance of stock to sell?” asks Grogan.

Large companies will also have to disclose how many unsold consumer products they discard each year and why, a rule the EU is hoping will curb overproduction and destruction...

Could this shift supply chains?

For Dio Kurazawa, founder of sustainable fashion consultancy The Bear Scouts, this is an opportunity for brands to increase supply chain agility and wean themselves off the wholesale model so many rely on. “This is the time to get behind innovations like pre-order and on-demand manufacturing,” he says. “It’s a chance for brands to play with AI to understand the future of forecasting. Technology can help brands be more intentional with what they make, so they have less unsold goods in the first place.”

Grogan is equally optimistic about what this could mean for sustainable fashion in general. “It’s great to see that this is more ambitious than the EU’s original proposal and that it specifically calls out textiles. It demonstrates a willingness from policymakers to create a more robust system,” she says. “Banning the destruction of unsold goods might make brands rethink their production models and possibly better forecast their collections.”

One of the outstanding questions is over enforcement. Time and again, brands have used the lack of supply chain transparency in fashion as an excuse for bad behaviour. Part of the challenge with the EU’s new ban will be proving that brands are destroying unsold goods, not to mention how they’re doing it and to what extent, says Kurazawa. “Someone obviously knows what is happening and where, but will the EU?”"

Thrifted men’s shirt for $6.99 at the VOA turned into summer shorts! I used the sport short pattern from The Friday Pattern Company and it all took me about an hour. What have you saved from the landfill lately? 😁

I made some solarpunk soda tab jewelry!! Again. And I'm making more. (Image ID at the bottom of he post)

A choker, a pair of earrings, a belt/waist chain and some bracelets using 100% thrifted/recycled materials! The choker and the bracelets have two layers so that the sharp aluminum edges on the back of the tabs aren't making contact with skin, you can kinda see it in the pictures. Here are more pictures:

[Image ID: 8 images. The first one shows a choker made out of soda tabs, with black cord weaved through it forming x shapes. There's a silver spike charm hanging from every other tab about an inch apart from each other. Im in the picture wearing the choker, my face is not in frame but my pale as fuck neck is visible and so is my dark brown hair.

The second image shows a pair of clip-on earrings laying on a sage green background. Each earring is made of 6 soda tabs weaved into a flower shape with green yarn, and three dangles hanging from the bottom. The dangles are made of a wire link with a black bead on in and a silver spike charm hanging from that. The same spike charms I used for the choker.

The third image shows a 2 ft 7 inch long belt chain made of the soda tab flowers from the earring image. Each flower is made of six tabs weaved together with the same green yarn but they yarn fades to yellow towards the end of the chain. 16 soda tab flowers are linked together with large jump rings and there are large silver clasps on each end to attach to a belt.

The forth image is my hand wearing a black compression brace and two soda tab bracelets. They are weaved together the same way as the choker, with the cord forming x shapes, but the cord is orange and not black. The bracelets are the same size, 8 inches long when laying flat including the clasp. There are two layers of soda tabs which makes the bracelet a little thicker.

The next 2 images shows a dress form wearing the belt chain from two different angles. It had a black skirt with a soda tab belt, with various spikey chains hanging from it. There's a black strip of grommet tape hanging on the right side of the belt and my soda tab flower belt chain hanging on the left side.

The next image shows one of the bracelets at and angle so the double layers are visible, and the last image shows the bracelets, the choker, and an unfinished soda tab choker with green ribbon weaved through it all laying flat on a sage green background. End ID]

I made a giant moth plush. The moth is 18 inches tall. The wingspan is 48 inches long. The fabric is faux fur, suede and an upcycle table runner. Has a weighted bottom. The moth is perfect for anyone who loves insects, likes all things of the night or for gifting friends and family. Yes I can bundle.

I found a pair of pants at a thrift store which really caught my eye, but had a giant hole in them...which turned out to be value-added, of course. So I filled it in with a big yellow scotch-darning patch:

And I was going to leave it with the big yellow blotch because I didn't really have the right colors in my thread box to match the fabric palette for embroidering......but then I was up way too late last night and decided that it would be fine if I just approximated them by using threads of two different colors.....

And I think it turned out pretty well!

Distance shot:

Yay for freehand embroidery practice! The more I do of these, the braver I'm getting!

Eu comprei essa camiseta da Hering pensando em usar de base para aplicar essa camisa floral que é muito antiga e apertada no meu corpo. Acho ela linda e estava com dó de abrir e cortar, pensei em fazer uma sobreposição com ela inteira mas não deu certo. Alguma coisa assim:

Não deu certo porque a camisa é muito pesada pra isso, pensei em costurar ela aberta, como uma capa, mas também não ficou bom.

Então parti pra algo mais simples, tinha esse tecido em mente por causa das cores que combinam muito.

Primeiro cortei a barra, reapliquei a barra original, descosturei as mangas e com as faixas que sobraram apliquei de volta na cava.

Só assim já tinha ficado legal mas a sobreposição deu um toque único pra esse projeto. Poderia ser um lenço mesmo, uma idéia legal pra esconder algum defeito ou uma estampa antiga.

“I’m wearing a blazer that my friends made me and hand embroidered with my name for my birthday! The shirt is embroidered with Betty Boops and was also a vintage birthday gift from my partner a few years ago. and the Uggs of course, back very much into Uggs with every outfit. I also love a button/pin flair so I added a bunch to liven up the look - it felt too serious haha! Currently my style is really inspired by the vibrant colorful tacky carelessness of the 2010s. Recently have just been trying to take myself a little less seriously and have more fun and clowns always of course … I’m in a major period of self-rediscovery of style and taste now that I’m in my mid 20s.”
