My scarf is growing steadily. I'm about 60% done and I am getting a little worried about blocking this thing when it's done. It stretches about 1/3 of it's length as it is now. Which indicated it's gonna stretch even more in wet condition 😅 I wonder how many laps around my neck it will reach 🤣

Meet the KITELOOPS backpacks — crafted from upcycled kitesurf sails that once flew over the ocean.

Each piece carries the spirit of wind, salt, and adventure, transformed into a lightweight, durable, and truly one-of-a-kind bag.

No two are the same. Every panel tells a story of motion, freedom, and second life.
Designed for explorers who value performance, sustainability, and authentic style.

#Degrowth and fashion: How #upcycling innovators show us how to rethink and reuse waste

by Handan Vicdan, The Conversation
June 19, 2025

"We emphasize the growing interest in the story of waste material, which is reinforcing strong connections to waste and its origins. Upcycling designers highlight local and material heritage in the production of upcycled clothes, which is necessary to foster the ecological and material consciousness required for a degrowth transition. Designers we interviewed evoked the idea that 'nature doesn't waste anything', and mentioned being inspired by and mimicking nature's cycles in the design process."

Degrowth and fashion: How upcycling innovators show us how to rethink and reuse waste

Every year, some 100 billion garments are produced worldwide, and 92 million tons of clothing waste end up in landfills. Given this enormous amount of waste, it is logical to think that the only way forward is to degrow fashion. But can fashion and degrowth co-exist?

Ich hab dieses tolle Buch in unserer Bücherei gefunden:
Darin wird anfängerfreundlich mit Illustrationen erklärt, wie man seine Kleidung ausbessern oder aufpeppen kann. Auch von Hand, ohne Nähmaschine. Außerdem gibt es Tipps zur Pflege von Kleidung, damit diese länger hält.

(english title: "Mend it, wear it, love it!")

Kiddo's sweater, a oversized croptop, is almost done. It's been finished knitwise, washed and is currently blocked. When it's dried I will fasten the last ends and make a final fit to see if kiddo likes it, wants it as is or if we make a small neckline.
