I have created this community to share projects and ideas with people who are interested in sewing and textile crafts made primarily from reclaimed and repurposed materials. That might be making bags from pillowcases, resewing a shirt into a child's dress, or repairing the hole in the knee of your jeans.
Feel free to share any projects you have made, or ask for questions or ideas for future projects.
