dyed some clothes, sewed new buttons on others. I’m frequenting the the cobbler, I’m seeing a seamstress to turn dresses into skirts. I’m sewing up holes and not caring if it’s wonky. I’ve always been a knitter but seeing all of my clothes as a hobby feels like a continuation of that. Your wardrobe can be made exactly how you want it without buying anything new!

It is such a fun little experience!! sewing patches onto bags and clothes, turning pants into shorts, cutting up old t-shirts. I love upcycling clothes I once loved and it makes me re fall in love with them! I am so tired of overconsumption, learn to create it saves you money while giving you a fun project!!!!

Quite literally one of the most liberating things!! You end up looking at most pieces of clothing online and saying to yourself "I can make that", and then BAM you've made it on your sewing machine and have a new piece for your closet (while technically getting rid of ur old one!)
It's sustainable and cheaper than thrifting on Depop if you're sewing with clothes that are already in your closet; you can just deconstruct them and use the fabric for whatever your heart desires. I've linked some fun YouTube tutorials for anyone looking to start!

fast fashion is a blight upon the planet!!!! i reckon that mending & making ur own stuff is one of the most ethical and sustainable things you can do. and it’s honestly so cheap compared to buying new stuff, particularly if you can find 2nd hand materials. & it also just feels very satisfying and nourishing!! & what an incredible outlet for self expression wow…. i made some ridiculous pants out of a bizarrely shaped pillow case i found in an op shop the other day, which i have worn so many times already, and i’m making my own curtains too……. very excited

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
