Don't these look just like fuzzy Easter eggs?! They're my DIY pattern weights, made from river stones and felted wool! Thanks @mosaicyarnstudio for the wool roving! . . . #diysewingtools #wool #makersgonnamake #springdiy #sewcialist
Rather than give up on these lovely wool socks, I've been repairing them all winter, little by little! You can see that there's a bit of a learning curve, but I think I've got it now... 😅 #wool #visiblemending #makedoandmend #zerowaste #sewcialist
I finally finished my first weaving! It's super busy bc I used ALL my leftover yarn bits and tested out lots of different kinds of stiches. I was so surprised by how soft it was when I took it off the loom! 😂 I learned so much from the weave-a-long by @theweavingloom ...Thanks for all your help! And thanks to the @thewasteshed for the last little bit of yarn I needed. I probably shouldn't tell you this ...but their yarn selection is amazing....🤐 . . . #weaving #weavealong #beginner #finished #textilerecycling #textilereuse
I'm happy to reveal my *secret project*! For about a year I've been working with one of my oldest friends by refashioning her mother's wedding dress for her own wedding. Just look at them! These two creative souls are perfect for each other! Between all the mockups, countless fittings, delicious lace shopping, and adjusting, it's been such a joy to be a part of her special day like this! . . . #sewcialist #finished #madebyhand #oldnewborrowedblue #weddingdressrefashion #refashion
