FOPYUpcycle & Lots of sewing challenges.
France
Приєднався 8 жов 2015
I love to create! Especially when I can upcycle clothing and fabrics. I get so much satisfaction out of saving clothing from landfill. ❤️
I'm not an expert in anything I do but hope I will attract like minded people trying to do the same things as me. If not doing the same things as me, maybe you enjoy watching people create, as I do, it's fascinating.
'Everyday is a school day' as they say and I'm learning every time I make something. It's important, as you get on in years, to keep the brain active and being creative does that. I hope you enjoy my content. Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE & COMMENT. Share too! ❤🧵✂🎨🖼🧶♻👚

Making something that I've wanted for a long time, out of scraps
Don't you just love it when you can make something that costs nothing but you time?!
I was given a lot of different fabrics / textiles a few years back. I wanted to get back into sewing but didn't want to risk buying fabrics and so I cheekily asked friends and acquaintances if they had any fabrics they wanted rid of. I couldn't believe the response! There so many people that had over bought in the past or used to have a business sewing items and now were pleased to be rid of some of the load.!
Today my friend Sharon and I attempt a sewing 'tutorial'. I've always wanted, what I now know to be called a 'Crescent' bag. I borrowed Sharons one to make a pattern and so the challenge begins!
You can see the challenges I came across and how I got over them and loved the end result! 💖😊
