The main goal of this pattern is to share the magic of using preloved textiles instead of buying new, and to introduce folks to garment sewing. So, unlike some other pattern sellers, I WANT you to sell your hoodies and/or teach classes!! All I ask is you share the benefits of upcycling and the detriments of fast fashion. Mentioning that you use my pattern from time to time is obvs appreciated! And I am crazy happy to give a whopping 50% discount to your students - (or more depending on the situa

I am not saying to never buy new fabric, but can we start making it a habit to first consider preloved, thrifted, remnants, deadstock or at least our own “stash”? Visit your local creative reuse center today! @magpiecreativereuse @scrapskc Here is a directory to find one that may be close to you! New ones are popping up all of the time!

Handmade brings a special smile—the pride of wearing something made by your own hands and being able to say “Thanks, I made it!” Today’s workshop at Missouri Sewing Machine Co @mosewing in Lenexa did not disappoint! Lots of talented folks! Next hoodie workshop is January 17 at the downtown location! | Sully's Upcycled

This isn’t just sewing—it’s storytelling, it’s sustainability, and it’s second chances for textiles! If you are looking for simple ways to make even a small difference in keeping things useful longer, you are in the right place! What textile do you have at home that deserves a second chance? #sustainablefashion #preloved #textilerescue #creativereusecenter #upcycledfabric | Sully's Upcycled

ALL of the textiles in this reel have been discarded. And this is just a glimpse into the day in the life of little old me. It’s is just a pin head on the tip of an iceberg. So relax, I can and will cut it up and make it into something usable- again. #discardedtextiles #secondhandfirst #upcycled | Sully's Upcycled

Ya know when your good friend asks for a creation and you put it in the back burner…? What a dummy! Don’t do that! I used a quilt that I bought @slaterstantiques a few months ago. I knew it would be perfect! Don’t tell @tarrahrose about it. Let’s keep it a secret 🤫🤫🤫 | Sully's Upcycled

Alright with the overwhelming “keep the fringe” response, I did! But I did attempt to make it less frumpy and more funky by cropping it. Not sure if I got rid of the “lampshade look” that one person commented on, but hey- I like it and that’s what matters! 🌹🌸🌺 | Sully's Upcycled

This. This is what I envisioned when planning out this sewing pattern. Besides making a one of a kind hoodie, having your child be involved with the process, learning the benefits of using secondhand textiles and the importance of being good stewards of this planet - of which we only have one. I am happy to announce the Sully’s Upcycled Sewing Pattern for Kids pattern is ready for purchase Tomorrow! 8/17 - Sunday morning 9:00am CT.

If you’ve been here a while, you know I upcycle way more than just quilts. And when I do use quilts, they’re usually pieces that need a lot of love to make them better—that’s what the “up” in upcycle is all about! 🙌 Speaking of ‘better’… I think I will be letting go of my ‘book of faces’ account soon. Why? Too many trolls and meanies, not enough good vibes. I’m here for creativity, positivity, and community—not negativity. Thank you for being the amazing, supportive followers that keeps me insp
