Slowly teaching myself the double running stitch. Here's how it started. Btw I found this even weave fabric as a curtain from the thrift store! #handsewing #sewsky #embroidery #upcycle

I'm so happy with these little stars! They're super easy to make too, anyone can do it with stuff they have at home. I used leftover leather that was too damaged for projects, but they could be made from cardboard too. Just cut out a star and put a slit on one end. #diy #crafting #sewsky #upcycle

Finally finished these hand embroidered patches I started 5 years ago. Please tell me I'm not the only one with hers old unfinished projects lol 😅 #sewsky #handembroidery #diy #crafting #sewing #handmade

I just finished this belt flag! Details on how I made it will be in picture descriptions but there's a lot of handwork. My hands, are cramped lol. #sewsky #handembroidery #crossstitch #sewing #finishedproject

Love these sales! I got #DemonCopperhead for less than $6!

Sewing updates! I've been slowly working on this guy little by little over a year I think. #whatimworkingon #crossstitch #embroidery #sewing #crafting #slowsewing #wip

Why did hair scarves ever go out of fashion!? My hair is a frizzy mess underneath and you can't even tell! Best part is you can get these vintage accessories at almost any thrift store for cheap because no one really wears them anymore. #vintagestyle #ootd #vintage #fashion #hairscarf #thrifty

New repair project! Trying to fix up this beaten up canoe in time for my birthday in August for a fishing trip. This was my first time actually sanding and working with any type of boat so I'm super stoked! #canoe #upcycle #restoration #DIYproject #fixerupper #whatimworkingon

That feeling of wanting to talk about a book non-stop right after you finish. I picked up Four Treasures of the Sky by Jenny Tinghui Zhang one up for the Storygraph Around the World challenge. It broke my heart over and over again, and opened my eyes. #bookrec #booksky #reader #readingchallenge

What are you making? Started a new hand sewing project and this handsome fella decided he would keep me company. I'm making myself a vest for my larp. #handsewing #sewing #crafting #belegarth #cat

I took 80+ photos/videos at Milwaukee’s peaceful #NoKings protest. Unedited, raw, and free to use. Please share the link + images widely—this is what it really looked like. 📷 #Milwaukeeprotest #peacefulprotest drive.google.com/drive/folder...

No Kings. No Raids. No War.

Beautiful example of visible mending!

Here's a peek of my biggest #memademay project! Made for my own handfasting ceremony from thrifted fabric. I worked on it slowly for two months, but I'd rather have one beautiful garment over a haul of cheaply made fast fashion any day. Less is more. youtube.com/shorts/p5jWd... #upcycle #sewing

Here's a little video of the graphic shirt I made from my honeymoon trip with my husband's nature photography! I've never seen bison so close before, absolutely majestic creatures Photo was done by my love @madebymereridt.bsky.social #supportnationalparks #diy #upcycle #memademay #usewhatyouhave

I just came back from a 10 day camping road trip! It felt amazing to unplug and just be in nature. But I had to share one project I finished just now! The image on this old shirt was taken by my husband in the Badlands on our trip! Photo by @madebymereridt.bsky.social #nationalparks #upcycle

I'm seeing more and more people sewing with upcycled materials in the wild on YouTube and Reddit!!! How do you try to convince someone to try crafting or sewing with recycled materials? #upcycle #recycle #sustainability #sewing #crafting

Added a black trim to the godets and hem of my skirt last night and it added a nice finishing touch to the garment. The trim cost me only $1.98 at St. Vincent De Paul! Thrifted notions are a double win: affordable and sustainable. #thrifting #upcycle #sustainable #garmentsewing #slowsewing #crafty

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

2017 I made a dress of beer cans titled, Fish Bait.

Happy Earth Day! Here's a skirt update, and all made from thrifted fabric. Finding uses for materials that would end up thrown out is a skill that any person and crafter can learn. It's a great habit to get into! #EarthDay #SlowSewing #UpcycledFashion #sewing #crafting #sustainability

So I just finished basting in 2 of my 4 godets and I love them! Please excuse the wrinkles, I haven't ironed yet 😅 The best part is I was able to make a custom rainbow ombre using thrifted fabric!!! #sewing #wip #diy #upcycle

Current plan is to spray dye this thrifted fabric black to rainbow!!!! Wish me luck #upcycle #recycled #diy #crafting

The answer to “what is Bob Ross painted on clothes” is THIS! I share my entire journey with you in this video to make this beautiful skirt, I would love for this video to go viral! So send it to a friend, tell your neighbor, anyone and everyone! youtu.be/QGw4PIHzgS4 #artsky

I want to go to a big sewing convention, like a comic con but for people designing and making their own fashion pieces. I'd really love to meet some like minded people and have a sewing circle #sewing #garmentsewing #community

My embroidery, The River Maiden for today. Are you ready to set sail and dream? 😉🪡🌿🌀 *all completely freehand stitched in April 2021. #stitchedart #thesewingsongbird

Would you wear this swimsuit to dress look? I love the volume of that tiered skirt! I'm saving this for some future #sewinginspo .

Next step in my skirt is adding some godets. Spent today seam ripping and making my pattern. #sewing #crafting #diy #garmentsewing

Doing some hand sewing tonight. Thankfully my vintage book has hand-sewn zipper instructions! #slowcrafting #handsewing #garmentsewing

I hate sewing in zippers. They never look clean when I do them by machine, so today I’m going to hand-stitch one for more control. I’ve never done it this way before—anyone else hand-sew zippers? Tips? Cautionary tales? Reassurance? #slowsewing #makersky #handsewing #sewingcommunity

Secondhand fabric shops! Now I wanna go on a thrifted fabric road trip #sustainablesewing #upcycled

My outfit is sponsored by the linen section of the thrift store. Slow fashion love #memade #upcycled #garmentsewing

I've been asked why I wear bright makeup for seemingly no reason, and this is why... It's my anxiety coping mechanism #makeuptherapy #beauty #makeupoftheday

My favorite alternative to Audible! I shop their sales all the time!

Stunning!

"Some things are true whether we believe in them or not" -Rutger Bregman Going out of my comfort zone to read an optimistic nonfiction book: Humankind: a Hopeful History. #booksky #readersky #challengeyourself

one thing about me is I’m going to make a political joke with the help of the muppets [current embroidery work in progress]

Omfg!!! I NEED to make a skirt with a cheeky heart cutout 🖤🖤🖤 #sewinginspo #vintagefashion

If ya wanna save money on lace, thrift old curtains! I see them all the time at thrift stores for pretty cheap. A little bit of lace adds a nice vintage touch, like here on my Peter Pan collar. Yes, I'll wear your grandma's curtains! #sewing #garmentsewing #sustainablesewing #sewingtip #upcycle

I have made a sleeveless jacket with snap attachments for interchangeable wings! My first Storyteller project for @twigandtale.bsky.social - the prompt was "imagination". I wanted to make an everyday wear that was still really special. #sewing #sewsky

Sneek peak of my next project and something colorful is in the works… I'm testing out some new spray dye on this fabric I thrifted from the Goodwill Outlet. If this works, it opens up so many more upcycling possibilities! #crafting #upcycling #sustainablesewing #DIY #sewing #workinprogress

I've been busy learning how to make my first YouTube video ever! In this project I make a cute vintage style outfit out of an old bedsheet and thrifted baby blanket. youtu.be/WtRu2QB98w0 #sewing #garmentsewing #sustainablesewing #upcycling

New Viking age dress! Video about this style coming soon...as soon as I have the time to finish editing it! #viking #medieval #mysca #cosplayer #sewingdiy #norse #modernviking

This skirt started off as a tablecloth that I dyed green and then embroidered flowers all along the waistband and hem. Then ofc I had to make a blouse to match, and I love how they both turned out! #embroidery #sewing #fashion #spring #flowers

The easiest way you can save money is by not buying interfacing and just using scrap fabric. You won't see the interfacing so you can use fabric that doesn't perfectly match and scraps are free! #sewingtip #sewing #garmentsewing #sustainable #sustainablesewing

Do y'all have a favorite? I'm in love with the 50's bodice
