Would they really ever end up in landfil? I suppose that's not the point. Inspiring collections and it would be a fun challenge to make a line of clothes like this. (In one of the project runway series the contestants have to make outfits from car accessories and apholstry!) Bet they used any old new car for the tv show though. I'll have to look at the wardrobe refashion site - am trying to last at least until christmas but I'm sure i can do better than that. I found a faded single doona bed cover with jungle animals all over it on the weekend but I don't know if i can bring myself to cut into it.Bettynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849756.post-59122153946925466312009-10-26T14:07:40.765+11:002009-10-26T14:07:40.765+11:00Found out something interesting yesterday at our c...Found out something interesting yesterday at our craft group. One of the girls makes Steiner dolls, and she was using wool slubbing (aka roving apparently) as the stuffing. I can find out who her supplier is, if you like.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054854689952896339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849756.post-82323071803231503682009-10-25T13:33:31.734+11:002009-10-25T13:33:31.734+11:00The clothing is fascinating.

Weaving them was definitely easy!Alwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03200150883889857882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849756.post-61704672661622705952009-10-23T11:27:40.727+11:002009-10-23T11:27:40.727+11:00Some fiber fill is made from recycled plastics and...Some fiber fill is made from recycled plastics and so might not be so bad.Donna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877384848664758611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849756.post-13532482708447075402009-10-23T09:46:46.184+11:002009-10-23T09:46:46.184+11:00It was a really interesting parade, wasn't it?...It was a really interesting parade, wasn't it? Loved the Polbymade collection. We commented afterwards that we would have liked to have known what went into the garments. The second last designer, for example - did she make that square cutout fabric herself, or was it a curtain with the checks cut out of it?<br /><br />Mind you, it was fun muttering "shower curtain", "nana's kitchen curtain" and "jeans jacket" to each other.<br /><br />Good luck with your recycling textile and stuffing challenge. A friend in Finland uses clean rags as stuffing for her dolls, but she also doesn't wash them so doesn't have to worry about drying, etc.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054854689952896339noreply@blogger.com
