DID YOU KNOW? MassDEP has BANNED textiles from the local trash stream. Repairing otherwise good clothing is a great way to repurpose those old textiles.

@clotheshorse.bsky.social had a thoughtful episode on distinguishing news from opinions. I can’t do it justice in one sentence, so give it a listen!

Worth another shout-out: Slow Fashion Caucus, launched by Congresswoman Chellie Pingree and other representatives in June 2024, is actively promoting circular economy principles in the textile industry pingree.house.gov/news/documen...

I came across this helpful video by #rajivsurendra which shows you how to sew on a button.

You can replace a missing button or spice up a shirt with new buttons!

I just love the needle book one of my students made at last week’s workshop. All the materials are repurposed secondhand scraps and notions!

Another informative article on what happens and who suffers the consequences of discarded clothing.
My big takeaway is to buy better and buy fewer.

It’s so weird spending 5 years working on something in service to others and then it’s out in the world and you have to spend all your time being like “hey will you buy this and read it bc it’s the biggest thing I’ve ever done and I would hate for it to go to waste” 😂

#visiblemending is a great way to extend the life of your clothing. Check out this story #WBUR posted on textile waste.
“The [EPA] says in 2018 Americans threw away more than 11 million tons of textiles, nearly twice as much by weight as they did in 2000.”
