    As I'm doing an masters in Textiles I feel like I have some authority on the science. I don't want to put you down by saying its really not complicated but it is also ridiculously simple. You've heard of polyester, well that's a thermoplastic polymer and the most common polyester in textiles is PET (poly(ethylene terephthalate)), there are other types like PLA (poly lactic acid) which is made from corn. The science of PLA manufacture is more complex than converting PET bottles into PET fibres.
    PET bottles are made of the same polymer as PET fibres. All you got to do is collect the bottles, chemically clean them, chop them up and melt them down. Then you can melt spin them and extrude them as fibres. This is a common process for polyester apparel fabrics cause it is cheap and also there is a degradation in polymer strength, meaning you cannot recycle them back into PET bottles but you can recycle it into PET fibres for apparel fabrics. Chances are that thread international is just using a lower linear density (finer fibre/yarn) of PET than other manufacturers. It won't feel as scratchy as an acrylic because its not an acrylic. It may seem a bit superficial to say these don't feel the same because they are different fibres but that is a surprising amount of textiles, different fibres offer different properties especially in terms of comfort.
    Also thank you for pointing out that cotton is not a sustainable fibre. Cotton agriculture uses 25% of the world's pesticides and 11% of the world's insecticides. It likes to grow in climates that are hot and dry, these often have the low annual rainfalls but guess what cotton needs a lot of? You guessed it water. To grow 1 kg of cotton you need 20,000- 40,000L of water (how much water we need in our entire lifetime). If you think organic cotton is better because it doesn't need pesticides and insecticides you'd be wrong. Organic cotton requires 1.5 times the land and 1.5 times the water to grow the same amount of cotton. The Aral sea an landlocked sea is almost completely dried up due to it be used to irrigate cotton.
    For my masters I had to do a lovely charming essay on cotton dyeing and let me tell you the textiles industry is terrible. 70 - 150 L of water is needed to process 1 kg of cotton, at least 70% of that water gets contaminated with effluent aka dye stuff and salts and if not treated will damage water ways and can be carcinogenic. Sometimes in the case of direct dyes or reactive dyes the way that they treat it makes it go from not great to toxic to a definite carcinogen. By making the effluent colourless by breaking down the dye molecule and releasing the azo bond. Which is really really bad, but don't worry about 60-70% of factories don't treat their water.
    So yeah cotton is terrible, polyester in many ways in terms of environmental impact is better. If you want to have a sustainable cellulose use viscose or lyocell. They are much better for the environment, also you probably own some clothes that contain viscose as my lecturer who worked in cotton mills said they often put viscose in as chemically they virtually the same.
    So yeah, thanks for reading my textiles rant. Also cool skirt.

    My friends have a company they started in late 2016 after graduating from the London College of Fashion called Know The Origin. The brand was designed with transparency in mnd and to get people thinking about where their clothes come from. At the moment they only do basics but all the clothes are sustainable and ethical and it's just an all round good brand for completely transparent fashion so it's a good place to check out if you're looking into more sustainably sourced fashion brands.

      unfortunately clothes made of plastics release microplastic fiber's into the ocean as they are too small to be filtered by sewage treatment (similar to micro beads which are now banned)So even though it sounds better for the environment, it's really not. There's no winning with plastic 😔

  • @meghaneischens1578
    @meghaneischens1578 7 років тому +13

    We learned about it in AP Environmental Science, I don't know if this company does this, but basically they shred it down ( or do something else???) and create plastic like flakes which is like a plastic fiber ( literally like plastic cotton ) which you can spin into a thread just like regular cotton. Its a great thing and really helps protect the environment and people from MELTING plastic bottles because although recycling is good, plastic bottles are made up of petrochemicals using different types of like chemical makeups (something like that?) and when mixed together can potentially be hazardous to not only humans but the environment. It also uses less water because its not creating the plastic and growing it like you would with cotton, its simply just recycling it :). Its super cool! Forgive me Environmental Science majors if I got some information wrong!!

      I wonder how that would work. I usually see completely different dye types used for cotton versus polyesters. If a fabric is 50/50 I would not be sure which to use. I guess if I can buy the fabric I could just ask the folks at Threads. But I am currently too broke.

    • @SakuyaLuigi
      @SakuyaLuigi 7 років тому +23

      I would say yes, since it's not a new item coming from a manufacturer and because it's thrifted, it's saved from being waste.

    • @AnnikaVictoria24
      @AnnikaVictoria24  7 років тому +43

      Yes! :D Absolutely! I get most of my fabrics from thrift stores, often the big ones have a haberdashery section. I'd say that secondhand fabrics from your local thrift store are probably the most sustainable option out there!

    Also how cute would it be if you put a zipper down the slit that way you could keep the slit but if needed (i.e. You want a look from day to night) you could zip it to cover up a bit more

      yeah, and make it an invisible zipper, so the seem looks sewn together and it isn't tacky looking.

    That's too cute and looks amazing on you and it's ethically source! Like that's just awesome and proves that recycling does have and impact on the world as well. I also had an idea that you could do with the box of scraps, you could make it into a patchwork dress, skit, top, etc. or make quilts out of it if you have enough and give them to homeless people or to shelters, so that you are helping you community and the environment at the same time. Much love from Texas Annika!

    I'm so glad I found this tutorial. This is my first time trying to sew actual clothes for a costume. My design had a slit in the skirt like the one in the video, and I'm dead set on making it out of stretch fabric because I like the drape and the way it feels. I thought I was gonna be stuck making a regular circle skirt but now I don't. Thank you for being awesome.

  • @juuduubify
    @juuduubify 7 років тому +4

    When sewing a waistband, first sew together the ends and then the sides, this way the seam that connects the circle will be inside the waistband and won't be visible.

      @Jen_S_Hassler1258 7 років тому +1

      juuduubify - ah, that's right, thank you that little tip! After Annika finished the skirt I was wracking my brain trying to remember how to make the waistband clean on the inside like that. I know my mama taught me that trick, but it was *years* ago. TYVM 💯

I'm going through my faves of your videos for inspiration on what to make with the 3.5 yards of t-shirt like material i got. (I'm used to getting soft felts and fleeces, so trying to find good Tshirt material was really hard!!!!!)
