“It seems unlikely but there is wealth in waste and riches in rubbish.”

I had no idea Seams Unlikely was a book about a sewist!
As I inserted the above graphic into this blog post I noticed the woman had a yellow, what looks like a tape measure around her neck. I had heard mention of Nancy Zieman before and had watched her on Youtube. I just had to put two and two together to realize it was ‘that’ Nancy from TV sewing fame.
I wonder if Nancy has ever upcycled seams into a placemat. Seams unlikely? Well perhaps for Nancy but not for RUDE Girl. I craft and sew with fulled woollen garments rescued from the point of landfill, that have been hacked up to make fabric. From these hacked garments, I reuse the seams to make into trivets or placemats.
It may seem unlikely but you can upcycle practically anything! Beat The Man and be your own creative genius.
