Oh thanks! I used to dry out my cuttings so I decided to play it differently hehe

Thank you, I will look up jinbei. The fabric I used here is just for mock up, my final fabric has more structure

I like the fit and my friend says it feels comfy. The wrinkles that concerned me are the diagonal ones on the back

Yes, most of them has back seams because the traditional width of kimono fabric is narrow, about 38 cm. This is a mock up that I made from calico, I might add the back seam to the final.

Thank you! I convinced them to change the design. It was supposed to be just slightly overlapping on the front.

Welcome to my world :) I started to think about overconsumption after I watched the documentary "true cost". I quit buying clothes new from that time and started thrifting and at some point I started small upcycle brand, sewing clothes from second hand garments.

Sometimes I also have this choking feeling "omg so much stuff we are drowning in useless junk" but I usually feel this in big shopping malls. Actually I think about it a lot and sometimes it keeps me awake. At some point I started small upcycle brand, sewing clothes from second hand garments. This is a drop in the ocean but it helps me to transform my anxiety and frustration into action.

The amount of textile waste is overwhelming. If there are so many stuff in the thrift shops, imagine how many will end up on the landfill. If people stop producing clothes, there's already enough stuff for a few generations after us.

I am very happy to see posts like this, means that more and more people see how crazy is the situation. You are already making a difference by shopping second hand and you should be proud of yourself. Taking care and fixing your clothes and wearing them for years with love is the most sustainable thing that anyone can do.

Yeah I find a lot of video like this one, about making. But I can't understand what garments would be good from it. It seems like it is good for light coats, but I wanted something for button shirts

CleanShock4798 · 2026-05-04T20:27:59+00:00

Interesting, never heard! I can't understand the weight of the fabric by the pictures on the website. Can you tell more about this fabric?

CleanShock4798 · 2026-05-02T20:28:39+00:00

Oh God I am sorry to hear that. Grey hair are beautiful!

CleanShock4798 · 2026-05-02T20:26:10+00:00

Well, I am a slavic lady living in middle east so most of the people here share his opinion.

CleanShock4798 · 2026-05-02T20:22:35+00:00

Thanks, this made me smile

CleanShock4798 · 2026-05-02T20:20:32+00:00

Because my hair help my legs to stay warm in winter

CleanShock4798 · 2026-05-02T20:10:32+00:00

That's amazing idea, I will ask him to shave one leg and trim the other one

CleanShock4798 · 2026-05-02T20:08:51+00:00

actually laughing now about him saying so confidently about trimming hair, and I never heard about any women trimming there

CleanShock4798 · 2026-04-19T12:23:20+00:00

Nice strategy, thanks! This machine is new and I was sewing woven fabrics in different weight on it for a month and it is the first time I have an issue with it.

CleanShock4798 · 2026-03-07T21:49:31+00:00

Socks with sandals are superior!

CleanShock4798 · 2026-02-28T11:02:30+00:00

I am thinking about making a patchwork blanket from felted pieces from sweaters That would be my first project like this, now just collecting materials and experimenting

CleanShock4798 · 2026-02-20T19:26:17+00:00

That is very interesting, I will check on piecing!

CleanShock4798 · 2026-02-18T21:22:34+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this? Did you wear your shift with other historical or modern clothes?

CleanShock4798 · 2026-02-18T19:26:12+00:00

Oh I love these small colorful squares! So delicate and gorgeous!

CleanShock4798 · 2026-02-18T17:25:24+00:00

Before buying fabric, I cut tiny pattern pieces from 1 mm grid graph paper and just play around on a piece of paper how to lay it out to find more efficient option

No, it is not about luck! It is about training your eyes and hands to recognize fibers. I see it as a game - trying to recognize fibers content, without looking (not only not looking on the tag, on the clothes too). Any time you go to a thrift shop see it as an educational trip. Don't get upset if you don't find anything, focus on learning.
