Unweaving a rug

  1. Brunswick, Victoria

A beautiful day to unweave a rug. Made from Welsh fleece a very long time ago and now has lots of trip hazards. Will weave it up again as the wool is still perfect. ???. #weaving #recycle #renew #unweaving #welshwool #sustainable #making #newfromold #textiles #handspun

The Slow Clothing Project

Every day, we eat and we dress. We have become conscious of our food, it is time to become more conscious of our clothing.Tamara-making-1024x610

I love the Slow Clothing project instigated by Jane Milburn at Textile Beat textilebeat.com . The project is a social enterprise inspiring a creative approach to the way we dress, through slow clothing. ‘We believe in ethical, sustainable choices that don’t harm people or the planet. We want to know the story about where clothing comes from and we believe in care and repair, refashion and restyle of existing clothing using old-fashioned home-sewing skills.’

I have contributed to this project.  http://textilebeat.com/a-meditative-process-tamara-russell/
