A very intriguing old jeans reusing project: a pillow cover with ombre hexagons by Cristina Garay at Remodela Casa. Kudos!

I'm a renter so investing in garden infrastructure is a balance and a compromise.

Mine is a garden of poverty. Found objects, repurposed items, cheap tip finds, composting, creativity and elbow grease is what my various vegie gardens run on.

Everything you see here I got for free. Wood lengths and a wire trellis from a curbside rubbish pile and bricks that were onsite when I moved in. This is all packed together between the legs of a garden arch which I bought cheap several years ago.

Today I refreshed the soil with 50% home sourced ingredients. Pea seeds saved from last season will go in soon. This DIY box will be feeding me again shortly.

This is how I spent my Earth Day. I hope your Earth Day was equally rewarding.

Repurpose antiquated golf courses… The best time to destroy a golf course was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. #golfcourses #repurposing #housingcrisis #housingfirst #antiquatedideas #enviromentdesign (at Catalina Foothills, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClW-jl6Sk-buA5Myab3zgmvw-eL_lQl0xXk-TU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nikita, Brian Mock

Reclaimed metal

Nikita was modeled after her real life's namesake, a beautiful cougar tracked by the Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy. I was drawn to raising awareness for her, as my work relates both to rebirth and to conservation. Giving discarded objects a new life in sculpture feels artistically gratifying, but keeping scrap metal from landfills where it can leach into nearby soil and water supplies, endangering surrounding wildlife like Nikita feels imperative. My work is designed not only to encourage viewer engagement and to celebrate new beginnings, but to also emphasize the importance of resourcefulness and the opportunities we can find to create less waste.

I have a table to sew and craft on now!! Instead of lugging all my supplies to the kitchen table, then packing everything away mid-project, I can leave my work half way done when I need to go to bed. I don't have to have a huge block of time to finish a project all at once!

The first photo is from last night while I worked on repurposing a pair of @rivercoins old pants into a skirt. And guess what .. my sewing machine is still out even though I didn't work on it tonight. Now I'll be looking out for a wooden table to fit the space.

These DIY potion bottles from thrift store spice jars are too great to save just for a Halloween craft. I'd save the craft idea for LARP, cosplay or prop needs as well. By Sarah Ramberg at Sadie Seasongoods.

I really need leg warmers but I have too many WIPs already, so for today I'm just gonna cut the sleeves off an old sweater.

I'm hoping that with the green one I can get away with not sewing the cut edge.

These are two of my favourite sweaters but they've been too small for ages (and the green one has wool so I can't actually wear it against my skin), so I'm excited to find a way to wear (parts of) them again.

As fashion statements go, Ugandan-based designer Bobby Kolade’s new collection is as bold as they come.

The mish mash of stitched-together panels holds an unequivocal message, one that’s printed loud and clear on the label of his one-off garments: ‘Return to sender. Materials sourced from secondhand clothes from the global north.’

Kolade’s first collection under his Buzigahill brand is made up entirely of clothes sent to Uganda for ‘recycling’ by countries like the US and UK. Repurposed and refashioned by Kolade’s six-strong team, Buzigahill is sending them back to where they came from.

“We feel there’s a kind of clothing dictatorship, coming from the global north to us,” said Kolade. “By sending things back, we are responding with a clear, proud message: we’re not just the dumping ground. We have the potential to produce, we have the potential to create.”

i have 2 old satin nightgowns, and they're pretty ugly lmao but one is a dark teal color and the other is a sky blue color, should i repurpose them and make skirts or a dress or something? They are very thin and in good quality, just ugly as hell and extremely unflattering
