You where worth the wait.. Every minute of it.

Took advantage of postage to UK while I am here and ordered some buttons from Button Box Leicester #buttonboxleics I had browsed through these several times, so happy with all the treasures received today, a range of vintage buttons and some new ones too, the brass car buttons will look fabulous on a coat. Quick delivery and circa dates for vintage buttons are detailed in the Etsy shop. #imakemyownclothes #memadewardrobe #sfs2020 #slowfashionseason2020 #sustainablefashion #sustainablesewing #sewinghtherapy #sewsummer #instasewing #instasew #sewistsofinstagram #sewingbloggers #sewingblog #sewover40 #homesewn #memade #sew_shayarana (at Surrey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCov5S2KGbH/?igshid=1nct70rh6ogfu

#upcyclefriday sshhhhhhh...... I know it is a day late, did do it on Friday though! 😏 My neighbour asked me to make this dress wearable for her as the neckline was too low, swipe across to see the before photo. It may look simple however it took 30 minutes of unpicking to take off the flounce straps. I learned how the flounce can securely be attached with a bar tack (stitch width 0.5 stitch length 1.0), prior to the bar tack the strap is sewn on to conceal the open end 0.5 cm folded over. @oanas_art_and_refashion #oanas_art_and_refashion #slowfashionseason2020 #slowfashion #sfs2020 #learntosew #learntosewwell #sewtherapy #sewsummerready #sewsummer #sewersgonnasew #sewistsofinstagram (at Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCOuGUEqdT9/?igshid=g0jagyk0gnuu

I have joined slow fashion season 2020 and I pledge to never buy any ready to wear garments. This season inspired by @crazydenimlady I pledge to not buy any fabric. I will sew from my stash, repurpose and upcycle. A new Friday upcycle challenge has been started by ... which I will be joining from this Friday. A few years back I initially made the change to buy what is essential and shift towards ethically sourced fashion. Since October 2019 I have not brought any RTW and hope to keep this fast for life. When I walk past store windows I feel inspired and relieved as I save time by not going in, and don't have to go through the whole process of finding the best garment or any fitting room fiascos! #slowfashionseason #sfs2020 #climatechange #sustainablefashion #ethicalfashion #isewmyownclothes othes #sewingismytherapy (at Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBuffN2KL4u/?igshid=1srnmr8cf4xmv
