Home Made Sanitary Towels (& where to buy materials)

Following my Zero Waste Llama Product Review on Reusable Sanitary Products a few years ago, I have now been producing my own Sanitary Towels for some time – both for me and my friends! You’ll remember from my previous post regarding making these, that, not only have these been much more comfy to wear than those purchased, but my homemade ones have proven to be strong, absorbent and easily washed! Compared to the brand of disposable pads I used prior, I would never go back…. No irritation and excellent absorbency! In this post I wish to expand a little more into the eco fabrics/materials you can use and where to buy them in the UK. Read more

For those who sew: Gütermann Recycled Sewing Thread – review and discount code!

As an avid sewer – and I know that I am not alone here – I take pride in repairing and upcycling items in order to lower my carbon footprint. I also know Gütermann to be one of the best brands of sewing thread in the world! I have recently discovered Gütermann Sew-all Thread rPET. Not only can they be implemented for a variety of fabrics and stitches, but they are made from 100 % recycled polyester!

My First Quilt

My First Quilt!

I started this quilt when my brother and his wife had their 1st child, had half of the front completed for the birth of their 2nd child…. and luckily they had a third and I managed to get it finished!

I have to admit that I am rather proud of it!
