Drawing from Persian and Japanese artistry, UNBOUND, a zero-waste top, is hand-stitched using the Japanese Sashiko technique, is made from three shirts dyed with eucalyptus leaves and tea bags.⁠
⁠
Images 3-4: @Katya.Ekimian⁠
Katya crafted the gown from rare breed wool sourced directly from farmers who honour land and animal. The yarn was spun in regional Northeast mills, supporting local economies and minimising impact.⁠
⁠
Images 5-6: @AlicePartelpoeg⁠
Alice's piece, OF SCARCITY, features an organic cotton-merino wool blend dyed with rust from old tools, and a belt made from leather scraps and rusting metal. Inspired by her family’s annual potato harvest, the look celebrates resilience and resourcefulness.⁠
⁠
Images 7-8: @EliseMascia⁠
Sankofa by Elise is a tactile celebration of memory, heritage, and environmental care. Crafted using rag knitting and zero-waste techniques developed during her Parsons thesis, Elise deconstructs garments and deadstock fabrics into yarn, weaving them into form by hand. ⁠

"Every moment is precious, every day counts. Everything I do I do not only for myself but also my brother who didn’t get a chance, and my daughter who has just arrived here. Things are bigger than me and I’m part of a much more profound and interconnected constellation of things. I think I’m sad and elated and grateful in a way you can only be once you’ve walked through fire and come out the other side."⁠
⁠
Some kinds of wisdom only arrive through transformation – the sort that comes from holding both an ending and a beginning in your hands at once. For pianist and composer @RoseRiebl, this wisdom is woven into every note of her new album Dust, a work written in the space between her brother’s death and her daughter’s birth.⁠
⁠
Due for release on November 14, Dust is Rose’s second album, and finds her expanding beyond her neoclassical roots, weaving guitar, drums, and ambient textures into her signature piano work. The result is an album that holds space for grief and joy to coexist, where silence becomes as meaningful as sound.⁠
⁠
We chatted to Rose to find out more about how she transforms life’s most seismic moments into sound. ⁠

The Fabulous Fern! We’re losing count but we think Jessie has made four pairs now - we think that means they’ve had the Jessie tick of approval?! (They all look gorgeous btw)

From @MadeByMeJessieB:

👏 The Fern Pleated Pants. @PeppermintMagazine and @IndyBindyFabrics with @Sohmo_au have given us a beauty of a pattern.

Can I just say, once again, the fit on these pants, for me, is epic.

Size H, length shortened and facing for the hem.
I used a regular zip, just to show, that if you don’t have an invisible zip foot, you can still make these pants.

And what spring outfit would be complete without a matchy top.
I had some small pieces left over, so I used a vintage 1975 McCalls pattern for inspiration, and made one to fit my measurements.

This cotton/linen fabric was purchased when @SpotlightStores closed in town, it was $1m, and it was in my deep stash - AKA a box in the shed.

So, why would you bother sewing your own clothes?

For me, it’s mainly the dramatic entrances and being able to look like your Aunts curtains from 1976.
