Idea: sew some cute little moths with scrap fabrics and sew them on holes you have on your clothes so you can keep wearing them :)

I made a dress out of trash (a discarded camping tent), and did a photoshoot in it.
I hope you enjoy looking at it. If want to see more stuff I make, please follow me on instagram.
"A Simple Life"
Salvaged tent, textile. 2022.

The Chemise á la Reine was a controversial gown in its time. Popularised by Marie Antoinette, it resembled undergarments whilst also being made of expensive fine cotton muslin. Antoinette famously loved the small farm she had built in order to experience what she thought was the simple, everyday life of the average peasant - picking flowers, collecting chicken eggs and enjoying nature. She often had gowns made that were shockingly casual for royalty, borrowing ideas from those who could not afford to wear anything else. To some, she elevated the mundane. To others, she belittled the ongoing struggles of the lower class.

Make do and MEND
"The French government has announced a €154 million ($173M) five year scheme which will pay consumers to have their clothes and shoes repaired rather than throw them away and buy new ones.
Under the scheme, announced by the Secretary of State for Ecology, Bérangère Couillard, contributions to repair costs ranging from €6 ($6.70) to €25 ($28) will be available depending on the complexity of the work."
We need more of this everywhere - and also to bring back the businesses that did this.

Another thing I decided to let go from my personal wardrobe. This shirt was something I made for a sewing class my senior year, I got a lot more refined in my sewing skills during that class but I don't find myself wearing this as much as I'd like to.

I embroidered this onto my shirt because I did something I’m really proud of while wearing it (I went into a haunted house). Whenever I do something I’m proud of I’ll embroider that symbol onto the T-shirt I was wearing, like a badge of bravery

The Best Source For Ethical & Sustainable Plus Size Fashion
Need help finding ethical & sustainable plus size fashion? I've got the perfect resource just for you!
It so hard to find ethical and sustainable fashion when you’re plus size. So many of the brands the prioritize sustainable fabrics only go up to a size large or maybe an extra large.
