A white ironing board in front of a set of cluttered shelves. On the ironing board are 11 small stacks of 6x6-inch squares of indigo blue denim in various shades.
All that denim is now squares. Now, to put them together to make "new" fabric. Good thing I like jigsaw puzzles. 😆 #sewsky #fiberarts #artistlife #somethingfromnothing
An ironing board in front of a set of cluttered shelves. On the ironing board is a stack of pieces of used denim salvaged from blue jeans, a couple clear rules, a chalk pencil, and a sharp pair of shears.
Time to put some of the salvaged denim to work. I need a barn/bog coat for working in the garden. #newproject #sewsky #somethingfromnothing #fiberarts #artistlife

Winter squash pasta with chilli & toasted garlic is the first recipe I’ve made from my new cookbook, #AlisonRoman #SomethingFromNothing & it was delicious made with #homegrown sage & garlic.

Ice-dyed cotton fabric from an old sheet and a crystal-dyed cotton tablecloth flanking a copy of Folkwear Patterns Basic Collection Jacket. The ice-dyed fabric is the lining for the jacket; the crystal-dyed tablecloth is the fashion fabric.

The Jacket Challenge jacket for #MeMadeMay is done. From an old tablecloth & a ripped sheet came a jacket (w/pockets!) that's light enough for summer, and comfy as an old bathrobe. #garmentsewing #sewing #dyeing #fiberarts #fibrearts #craftiverse #artistlife #somethingfromnothing
A white-tile and wood kitchen island covered by an indigo and white crystal-dyed tablecloth.
A cardboard cutting mat on a white-tiled surface, covered with indigo and white crystal-dyed fabric cut out as jacket pattern pieces including (from left to right), the sleeve cuff bindings, pockets, sleeves, and jacket body (jacket front closest to viewer). The small "blob" in the upper left corner are the scraps.
Step 1 of the #MeMadeMay Jacket Challenge: figure out how to best turn a used, "crystal-dyed" tablecloth into the fashion fabric. Done. 🌞 #garmentsewing #somethingfromnothing #fiberarts #fibrearts #dyeing #artistlife
A folded piece of ice-dyed damask-striped cotton, pattern envelope for the Folkwear pattern for the "Basic Jacket," and a folded, "crystal-wash" dyed 50"x98" tablecloth.
For #MeMadeMay I've set a personal challenge: turn the remains of a worn-out sheet & a stained tablecloth into a quirky, cute jacket before 5/31/25. EVERYTHING comes from stash, including thread. Go! #garmentsewing #folkwearhack #dyeing #fiberarts #fibrearts #artistlife #somethingfromnothing
