Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
That's a valid point, green drerssmaking etc is not just about sourcing organic fabric, but also about reusing existing materials to reduce waste. Patchwork quilts are probably one of the most common areas for this sort of thing and they often become heirlooms.

Visiting your local charity shops is a perfect way to recycle clothing and household textiles.........many of my and my partner's clothes have been purchased from charity shops, sometimes I alter them (eg taking out sleeves, cutting bodices off dresses and making them into skirts, dying them) all you need is a bit of imagination and access to a sewing machine. I also have several pairs of curtains at my windows which I have bought in charity shops. I have also bought clothing for my grandson from charity shops - children grow too fast to wear out their clothes! A great way of recycling as well as being a fraction of silly retail prices.
