Sewer with over 40 years of experience with clothing repair/alteration and I love to create fabric artworks to wear or hang on a wall using scraps/recycled supplies.

Current situation, one of my luxury bones decided to quit while eating a crispy slice of bacon. Why doesn't regular healthcare include vision/dental? We need a better system to cover everyone and everything. A group in Washington state is looking to do just that. Go to wholewashington.org and follow

I finished it!!! I'm taking with me on Saturday to the Seattle Derby Brats Summer Slam to donate this gem for their fundraising efforts🙂💫I'll be vending too, so hope to see some familiar faces!

Progress! Color is down and heat set! Now comes the tedious process of creating the tiles. Currently watching Drop Dead Gorgeous while I cut dozens of derby jersey bits to fuse in place, prior to stitching down, lol!💋

My latest upcycle, viral/bacterial study pants! I remember back when I took 9th grade biology, we had to hand draw all illustrations for reports. I actually liked doing that part, so this was very nostalgic for me😊.

Played around with foiling and glitter on shoes/skate boots. Both are finished with a protective top coat.

I'm not buying stuff from big box stores for as long as I can possibly avoid it- Economic Blackout.

Custom work started last week is done! Over 80% of supplies used were salvaged materials. Even the added hair to Amy Winehouse print was leftover t shirt scraps. Even bits and bobs can be used for art!

Current custom works in progress, really helps curb the crushing depression/overwhelming dread of this current administration. Art will save my sanity over the next 4 years or a national revolt/strike works...I'm hoping both.

Hoodie with holes plus socks with worn out heels equals awesome results! Don't toss those cute socks out just because they're worn out! Cut out the prints and use them to patch holes in clothes😃 This was my small textile recycle win of the day to give this Dolls Kill hoodie a new life💖
