dyed some clothes, sewed new buttons on others. I’m frequenting the the cobbler, I’m seeing a seamstress to turn dresses into skirts. I’m sewing up holes and not caring if it’s wonky. I’ve always been a knitter but seeing all of my clothes as a hobby feels like a continuation of that. Your wardrobe can be made exactly how you want it without buying anything new!

It is such a fun little experience!! sewing patches onto bags and clothes, turning pants into shorts, cutting up old t-shirts. I love upcycling clothes I once loved and it makes me re fall in love with them! I am so tired of overconsumption, learn to create it saves you money while giving you a fun project!!!!

Quite literally one of the most liberating things!! You end up looking at most pieces of clothing online and saying to yourself "I can make that", and then BAM you've made it on your sewing machine and have a new piece for your closet (while technically getting rid of ur old one!)
It's sustainable and cheaper than thrifting on Depop if you're sewing with clothes that are already in your closet; you can just deconstruct them and use the fabric for whatever your heart desires. I've linked some fun YouTube tutorials for anyone looking to start!

I love up cycling things that don’t fit anymore and personalizing my clothes :)

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
