also I spent 2 hours this morning watching annika victoria’s sewing videos and upcycled an old, stretched-out t-shirt 👌🏽 happy I gave it a second life rather than just recycling it like I was going to.

#upcycle #recycle #homemade #slowfashion ?

zips acquired!!

Might go out today to buy some zips (I’ve been fighting against adding fasteners to the clothes I’m making, because I remember zips being annoyingly fiddly to install) but it’s over an hour to the fabric market 😭

Maybe I’ll buy a few metres of lace, too, and upcycle some blouses? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Dunno how ethically made my fabric is, but in an attempt to defeat both fast fashion and the fact nowhere caters to my body shape, I’m finally trying to make some clothes. First stop: pattern drafting.
#sewist #handmade #beginner (kind of. It’s been nearly a decade)

first toot! I’m still not quite sure what i’m doing, so forgive me if I mess up. bit nervous. not even sure if i’m in the right place, tbh
mini #introduction i suppose:
- my name is chell (yes, like in #Portal)
- I’m from the UK
- I live in South Korea (for now)
- I like #drawing and #photography
- trying to make little changes in my daily life to reduce my impact on the environment (a bit of a challenge in SK)
