How have I missed the wonderful prompts of #sewandtell?? Here’s my purple sewing project for this week - a floral print corduroy vest lined with bellflower purple cotton twill. A little hacky but loved by its recipient 🥰 #SewSky 🧵🪡

A moment of appreciation for these #vintage culottes. Is it a skirt? Pants? Who knows! #ootd featuring a self-drafted #memade turtleneck in black deadstock jersey fabric from #Fabcycle and my #tabi boots 🤩

I made some sweatpants using the #DaughterJudyCoeTrouser pattern as a birthday gift to myself! Cozy fabric is secondhand from Fabcycle. I added jeans-style topstitching using the triple stitch to emphasize the interesting pattern shape.

Thank goodness for local fabric stores - Spool of Thread saved me on a notions order with same-day local delivery so I could complete this hobbit-themed birthday present for a friend 😅 A fun and quick hacky make, but my god do I hate sewing with satin 🙈 #SewSky #GarmentSewing #lotr

Had a productive weekend... Used some old sports bras and math to pattern out 4 new ones. Bottom right was a good lesson in mixing units (don't), but the rest turned out great.
Any interest in patterns?

Hey people who sew, in US and Canada, found a blog post about tariffs and the sewing community you might want to take time to read.

Fabcycle works with retailers and garment workers, to sell deadstock fabrics, and are based in B.C.

It depends on what you're looking for but I really like trying to find stuff that will work from dead stock vendors online! I particularly love Fabcycle, they have great notions, good fabric descriptions, fair prices, and human customer service who are great 🖤

Too bad, different country. We have a local shop that recycles fabric and Fabcycle that takes the larger donations. Good luck!

Oh sure, one week after I macguyver upholstery fabric into a webbing replacement for my tote bag handles, Fabcycle suddenly has the exact thing I was looking for. Where were you when I needed you!? 🥲

There are unassembled pieces of a quilted tote bag (also off-white) on top of it
