A Little Tear, A Little Mend – and a Whole Lot of Meaning
This Thursday we’re doing something special. It’s one of our Experimental Thursdays, and this time it’s called Rupture and Repair.

Now, I know what you're thinking. “Tearing up fabric and stitching it back together? That sounds simple enough!” But trust me—it’s not quite as straightforward as it sounds.

We are also excited to announce a new addition to our Useful Resources page on our website: a great Hand Sewing Needle Guide from John James Needles. This guide is designed to help you with your hand stitching, providing detailed information to enhance your sewing experience

Discover the art of creative recycling as we explore how to repurpose painted and dyed wet wipes and cleaning rags into captivating textile art. In a world striving to reduce plastic waste, these everyday items offer unexpected opportunities for sustainable creativity. Learn how to bond wet wipes onto substrates, stitch intricate designs, quilt, and even create mixed-media collages. With a focus on sustainability, cost-efficiency, and the uniqueness of each creation, this guide empowers textile artists to turn plastic-laden materials into eco-friendly masterpieces. Join the movement of artistic recycling and unlock the potential of your next textile art project.
