Today I have been making an absurdly time intensive Tshirt that no one will pay proper money for and it's a bit depressing but will I stop making these ridiculous Tshirts? No.
It's inspired by a Peter Max umbrella.

I make accessories out of reclaimed fabric and yarn, textiles that have been diverted from landfill. I'm considering a big move out of my very small home space and into a studio. All sales are going towards funding this move! I've got to save up for insurances, bond, furniture and all the stuff I haven't even considered yet.
If you have a gap in your wardrobe for handmade, slow fashion and accessories do check out my shop and pass it on to your friends and family!
Help me save more perfectly good textiles from landfill!

I picked up some cute pastel doilies today so I made them into a hat. Unfortunately I broke a size 90 needle while top stitching over a particularly gnarly doily and that tells me it's bed time.
Oh and I also grabbed a bunch of scraps from the free fabric bin and made a reclaimed denim hat. I love all the inclusions from the former garments.
