Recycled polyester is often marketed as a sustainable choice—but is it truly the best option for our handmade wardrobes and upcycled projects?

In this episode, I explore the unseen consequences of recycled polyester: from the microplastics it sheds into our waterways to the inefficiencies of plastic recycling itself. We’ll talk about what this means for sewists and upcyclers, and how we can make more mindful material choices that align with a slower, more intentional way of living.

✨ Whether you're a lifelong maker or just beginning your slow fashion journey, this conversation is a gentle invitation to pause, reflect, and choose with care.

🧵 Mentioned in this episode:

• Microplastic pollution and its impact on nature

• The truth behind plastic recycling rates

• Alternatives to recycled polyester for sewists

• Tips for creating garments that truly last

In this episode, I’m wrapping us in the gentle folds of linen—a fiber steeped in ancient beauty and slow, sacred living. I share the story of how a thrifted linen sheet became a prized treasure, explore the energetic frequency of fabrics, and offer a soulful reflection on why linen matters in our homes and our bodies. We’ll also journey through a bit of linen history, learn what to watch for when choosing fabric, and celebrate why wrinkled linen might just be a love language.
