BRICKS FROM TEXTILE WASTE 👕🧱 Share this video if you want to see less textile waste going to landfill!

@fab.brick upcycles textile waste into bricks of different shapes and colours. Clothes that can’t be donated, repaired, reworked, or recycled usually end up in landfill, with over 92 million tonnes of textile waste being discarded every year 😧

We watched FabBrick’s full process at their HQ in Paris. The textiles are sorted by colour and then shredded into a fine fibre. They accept all fabric types, and they even keep zips, tags, and sequins attached to minimise waste and add a little uniqueness to each brick. Plant-based glue is then added, and the mixture is

Treasure from Trash

As I scrolled through Instagram on my phone while I had breakfast (we all do that, right?) I saw that @berry_birdy had put out a fun new challenge. Each May, Lesley hosts the Micro Mini Stitch Along #microminisal where we get to play and create little quilts, no bigger than 8" square. The challenge set yesterday was called "Treasure from Trash". We were to use only scraps that were in our bin. Fun! As my sewing room bin was emptied the day before for bin night, I had quite limited scraps…
