Hi! Meet my hacked #fibremoodjudy 💛🩵💚 I s Hi! Meet my hacked #fibremoodjudy 💛🩵💚 I skipped the buttons om the back, and the curvy line at the front top. And Iadded little bust darts and divided the skirt into two tiers.

@fromcarlyb gave me so much inspiration to make this dress out of curtains and vintage scraps. Here are some valuable lessons I learned from her video's:

- You can get really far and make original and georgeous creations by just 'eyeballing'
- Feel the energy of the fabric! This is the way Carly picks her fabric combinations and it works so well. For me, at least😁 I'm a writer and podcast maker, so when choosing the "right" fabric combination I feel if certain combinations are telling me a story. This was the outcome. Yellow buttercup Spring dress!
- Curtains, bed sheets and scraps make up for great dress material.

So thank you Carly for bringing so much sewing joy and inspiration all the way to the Netherlands 🫶 And check her out! She's an amazing designer!

The most sustainable fashion is wearing the clothe The most sustainable fashion is wearing the clothes you already own. I didn't wear this dress blouse anymore, the silhouette is just not for me. So I turned into something more fun and colorfull!!

I would wear this dress to work AND to a festival. It looks really nice with a sweater on top it as well. 

If you don't know where to start with upcycling clothing you don't wear anymore, I have one advice: trust the process. I had no idea this would be the outcome of this project. I just made decisions along the way🩷💚

I might have gotten a bit addicted to dyeing my cl I might have gotten a bit addicted to dyeing my clothes🌈👩‍🎨🎨 In just an hour you can achieve a micro make over, that gives you the feeling of freshness and newness! 

This is a self drafted top that I hardly wore. So I decided to give it that little spunk it needed🩷🧡

I used a little bit of Rit dye all purpose Tangerine because I wanted that pastel faded look. Quite happy with the result:)

So I've gone a little wild with the colours😅🌈 And I love it!! 

This is a hacked Izzy knit top from @stylearc I used @ritdye for the colours of the top. The double skirt is selfdrafted and made out of scraps. I always get a little down in the winter, but these kind of colourfull sewing projects lift my spirits! Definitely not on team sad beige mum😂

Woooohoooo! I made perfectly fitting pants with an Woooohoooo! I made perfectly fitting pants with an invisible zipper. Two big firsts in my sewing life💙

These are the #winslowculottes by @helens__closet I love the big square pleats, the clean finish that you get with an invisible zipper and the variety provided by the different lengths. I just love everything about it🤩

This was actually meant as a toile, i made the culottes with 2 euro fabric from a thrift store. But this is a keeper😻 I've had so many issues with pants and especially the crotch. I almost wanted to give up on sewing pants. But after listening to the pants episode of @lovetosew.podcast
I decided to carry on! I read the blogs Helen and Caroline advise in the podcast, and just started trying out tips and tricks. So happy it paid off!

I measured the crotch of pants that fit me well. Based on those measurements I shortened the front crotch by 2,5 cm, I did a tiny flat tummy adjustment and lengthened the legs with 2 cm.

Next stop: Winslow Culottes in a soft and drapy wool flanel that i got via @thefabricsales They sell designer deadstock fabrics, so take a look.

My white sneakers are by @ecoalf made partly out of ghost fishing nets. And they're washable, so after two years my sneakers are still white. Just a tip if you're looking for sustainable sneakers.

Happy holidays for now!!
