Sometimes I make regular old clothes just for me!

I finally finished off a cozy wool poncho - completely the wrong season for a wool poncho, but sometimes inspiration strikes.

The old American Duchess patreon link has been broken for a while, but here's the pattern on their website. The original post also did link to how to scale gridded patterns using photoshop to acomodate different sizing, which may be helpful as well :)

"South African entrepreneur Phumla Makhoba is on a mission to solve the “global south housing crisis.” And she’s doing it by using clothing waste.

Her invention, Texiboard, is a material that combines fibers found in textile waste with lime cement to create a durable, affordable, and circular building material.

The result is a textured, white square, almost tile-like, that is created with recycled materials — not emission-generating wood or concrete.

“It can be used to make furniture, flooring, walls, or even your entire home,” Makhoba said in a video for social media account We Got Earth.

The first iterations of the Texiboard included colorful cotton threads that were compressed together, with multiple attempts to remove cracks and seams and perfect the ratios of size, shape, and material mass.

With her design firm, Studio People, Makhoba has been working since 2022 to perfect the TexiBoard. 

Makhoba has since created a solid panel, with shredded textile fiber and natural lime cement fully cured. Finally, it can be formed into a full sheet of building material.

Once realized, the Texiboard will confront the estimated 92 million tons of clothing waste generated around the globe each year. But it will also provide safe and stable housing that Makhoba says only 20% of South Africans can afford.

“Growing up, I saw two worlds: one with polished buildings, and one built from scrap,” she said in a video. “I always wondered, why do some people get homes that last and others get homes that leak?”

Now, the Texiboard design is available as an open-source resource, and Makhoba and her team host in-person workshops for locals living in shacks to learn how to build their own supportive and sustainable housing.

“Just having a roof isn’t enough,” Makhoba said. “A real home should protect you from the weather, work for your daily life, and not fall apart in five years.”

Her approach includes a full theory of change. Right now, Studio People is in the input process, building partnerships and funding to scale their operation. From there, they hope to develop a fully sustainable supply chain to manufacture and sell Texiboards and help build affordable housing for people in need.

Once that dream is realized, Makhoba outlines the tangible output of this work: Economically inclusive waste management, circular building materials, green jobs, and a sustainable housing and manufacturing market.

“Informal settlements can be transformed when we all work together,” she shares on the Studio People website. “Texiboard is the seed of innovation that will create updated trade jobs in the innovative building industry.”

Although the Texiboard is still being completely perfected, the goal is to provide a weather-proof, cost-effective, and circular way to house people by democratizing the act of building.

“Our goal is to create an egalitarian and sustainable urban environment, helping shack dwellers and youth out of poverty,” Studio People shared on LinkedIn.

“We empower the underdog, including people and businesses, to co-create solutions in our fight against the housing crisis, unsustainable building materials, and unemployment — one board at a time.”"

May I ask what laundry vodka is? Is vodka used in a treatment method or is it just a reward to have while laundering?

vodka and water in a spray bottle for deodorizing fabrics that can't be laundered! it's an old laundress/lady's maid trick (with a sponge instead of a spray bottle) for silk and wool that's mostly used in theatres for costumes nowadays

If you can donate then, please do it. But if that’s not an option for you then please share and reblog this post around! They are halfway there to their goal. 🍉

We are in the third month of the isnad Initiative, and more than 70 students have benefited from this initiative so far. Thanks to your generous donations, they have been able to complete their education and achieve their dreams. We have received many success stories, including Osama, who obtained a job as an Android developer to work remotely in Canada and was able to support his family and help them. Among our students is also Shahd, who obtained a Reach Education Fund scholarship that covers the full costs of her university studies after excelling in high school and obtaining 97%. There are many others who have obtained remote jobs and have been able to earn their daily expenses through this work. Esnad has contributed to all of this, and the journey of giving continues. We have another month ahead of us and another goal to obtain the rental costs in order to include 40 more students in the initiative next month. The value of the goal will be $3,000, including tax and transfer fees. This amount will be like a light shining on the path for 40 other students from Gaza. We must obtain it before the end of this month, or all the students will lose their dreams!

For these achievements we exist, and for the students of Gaza who lost their dream and their lives, Isnad was created. Be a reason for change by donating only $25 and giving a person and his family a life by providing him with a free school seat!

Our campaign is now at $11,000 and we need to raise $13,500 within this month to cover our rent.
