Comrades Unite! Its time for a Sewing Rebellion!

The Sewing Rebellion is a rebellion acting out against sweatshops and the lost art and knowledge of sewing. To STOP buying and START Sewing! This semester Appalachian State is holding seminars with the Sewing Rebellion, including a Mending 101 workshop- a great place to start learning basic tricks of the trade to mend and revamp your old clothes.

Here's a link to find out more about the background of how this whole thing started http://www.fraufiber.com/sewingrebellion.html

As for me, I'm going to take the Sewing Rebellion Challenge, and go a whole year without purchasing clothes- instead rework all of those old tee shirts that I never wear etc. each into a work of art. Keeping a running journal on here with all different items made and fresh ideas for those of you interested in taking the challenge too!
