Maintaining and repairing your clothes is an anti-capitalist act! Things that are properly cared for will look nicer and stay out of landfill longer.
When washing wool items, especially hand knits, soak in lukewarm water with mild soap and gently squeeze to remove water. Avoid excess heat and agitation. All of my beanies are stretched out, so I intentionally set them on the radiator to shrink them. Usually you will want to lay wool items on a towel and let them dry slowly.

·2024-3-28Creating a patchwork watermelon based on Patterns of the Tatreez Revolution by @Wafa . These are free embroidery patterns available from Tatreez and Tea. Tatreez is traditional Palestinian embroidery, worked in a similar way to counted cross stitch. I translated the pattern into patchwork. Ceasefire now and free Palestine! 🇵🇸 #watermelon #🍉 #freepalestine #ceasefirenow #crafttutorial #patchworkquilting #modernquilting #quilttok #sewing #quiltersoftiktok
