Hello! My name is Susan and I love to sew. I have been sewing for most of my life and in the last few years I have begun to look for other ways for find fabric for my sewing. That lead me to upcycling. There is so much waste in the fashion industry, and I did not want to contribute to that. So now I thrift denim jackets, pants etc and embellish them or turn them into new items. I find vintage linens, quilts, sheets etc and make them into jackets, dresses, bags and more. All my sewing supplies are thrifted. It really challenges your creativity to look at something and figure out what you can make from it. I love the challenge, and I love the outcomes!
