Would anyone like to join me in this virtual workshop on Wednesday?

The poster says it all, and it’s been a pleasure crafting the class content specifically tailored for this collaboration with Worldwide Climate Justice week.

@NatureMC thank you, and I’m sorry it comes too late! I was busy making the class content and only realized that I have to do a final push with less than 48 hours to spare 😅

Sewing this convertible Patrick Kelly one-seam coat using the pattern provided by Philadelphia Museum of Art leads me to learn more about the brilliant American designer.

Now whenever I wear this coat (made with Fibershed’s Climate Beneficial Collaborative Cloth), I am reminded of his legacy of joy and love.

You can read about how I made one-seam coat here:

Thank you @jquillin! I have not met one person who dislike this coat. I wish we were able to see more of Patrick Kelly’s designs.

    Making pattern is one of my ultimate highs in crafting garments. I do my best to document the process every time it happens because it’s so time-intensive and I don’t know when the next opportunity comes.

    This latest pattern is called mokume (I.e. wood grain), and it’s my first time doing it!

    @NatureMC the Japanese shibori (I.e. dye resist) techniques are so varied and detailed. One of the timeless treasures in history of textiles. Look them up, get some books, they’re so mesmerizing!

    @NatureMC oh yes, it works really well for papers too!

    I’m really proud to be part of Fibershed Design Challenge, that concluded earlier this week with a final showcase. I presented 4 garment prototypes that are made with regionally sourced textiles, have design longevity and zero waste pattern in mind. I hope there will me more opportunities like this in the future!

    Check out latest newsletter issue to have the deets on all four garment prototypes.

    I’m excited to have burning questions about biotech textile innovation, scalability, recyclability, and much more answered by Modern Meadow CEO, Catherine Roggero-Lovisi.

    As Fafafoom Studio Newsletter enters its second year of publication, I look forward to offer more content beyond my monthly artist life updates. Happy belated 2024, Fashion Social peeps!

    @NatureMC thank you! It’s been a while since I updated my blog though, hopefully December and January will become my catch-up months for batch writing.

    During my textile upcycling showcase, I unveiled these four creations, worn by life drawing models and a renowned flamenco artist. Super stoked to have them come alive in their capable hands. Which one is your fav?

    A model wearing an asymmetrical coat and floor length wrap skirt. Both are made out of sewing remnants stitched as ruffles on base fabrics, which are then assembled together temporarily.
    A model wearing a 2-piece outfit of diaphanous long sleeeve top and petticoat, made out of embroidered tulle remnants and cotton lining. She’s in the middle of spinning so the petticoat flares out in motion.
    A flamenco artist trying out dancing with a goudet-shaped trapeze overdress made out of teal embellished polyester organza. She wears a matching dark green flamenco skirt underneath.

    @sewing I wore three refashioned outfits, too! for the win 💕

    Asher got a new Chinese dragons shirt from my big Auntie. My cat understands English & Teochew languages. A cultured cat 😺

    Considering it’s two mere weeks before my showcase, it’s only appropriate to share the concepts behind the outfits I’m going to debut during Hem & Jaleo on the October newsletter.

    This time, they’re not for me, but for three models with diverse body types. Grateful for this learning experience!
