Echoing is a great way to break out of the straight lines (definitely more advanced than "just straight lines down a quilt" - not that there's anything wrong with that!). The quilting really makes the blocks shapes stand out.

I'm so thankful that there are these options available, but I agree it can be overwhelming and expensive to do the right thing all of the time. I've found a few items at Goodwill recently that look like they have never been worn! I'm going to try to shop there first as well, a lot of garments just need a quick fix and they are wearable.

Even if you have the skill/time to make your own clothes, is the fabric you've purchased woven and printed in a socially conscious way? What about the packaging it came in? Sometimes it feels really impossible to be able to afford all the things you need that are made in this way because they are so much more expensive than the cheaply made alternative. It's also really hard to imagine how one person can make a change. But trying is the best thing anyone can do. Holding on to clothes as long as possible, and wearing them past the "perfect" point is really key. Purchasing key wardrobe items that are handmade is also really awesome and feels so much more special when you wear it.

But really, I think I need to adjust my thinking away from this weird idea we've developed over the last few decades that we always need to be in something new! It's such an unhealthy, destructive trend. And I'm trying to be more thoughtful about making things that I'll wear over and over and making sure that I'm sewing them well enough that they'll stand up to that kind of wear. It's a challenge to be sure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909128879623867308.post-53797892144881066572016-02-25T09:30:52.624-05:002016-02-25T09:30:52.624-05:00Thanks Jess!
