Are you in the North Bay area and into reuse and up-cycling, especially textiles? Come visit me at the Reuse Hub in Petaluma Saturday April 11th from 5pm-7pm. I'll be one of the local artists demonstrating ways to repurpose fabric scraps at the Reuse Hub's Half Birthday Party https://www.reusealliance.org/events/reuse-hub-half-birthday
My demo will be English Paper Piecing, a very satisfying way to make small scraps into a bigger cloth using tessellating shapes!

this was my first experiment to use up tiny fabric scraps. i stuck the pieces together with water soluble fabric glue then sewed a grid over the fabric to secure, before washing off the glue. it’s since survived several wears and washes!
the process was tedious but on the upside it didn’t require a base fabric to sew on to. i would like to try other methods in future, could a flour paste replace the synthetic glue?

Scrap quilt finished, for a teeny-tiny human to be wrapped with love & repurposed fabrics! It’s now in the post, heading to its destination.

Throughout their time at the workshop, millions of #FabricScraps have gotten another chance at a new life as parts of #artworks, tote bags, shirts & more. These products were created by #VụnArt’s nearly 40 #artisans, all living with different forms of #disabilities. The workers come from all walks of life, but, under the roof of Vụn Art, have come together to make a living from their own labor & creativity, like pieces of a tapestry existing to make life more enjoyable.
