There is a growing trend towards the old, darned, stained and worn fabric. Not only are people attracted by aged fabric but to the character and history of where it's been and how it's been worn and of course who has worn it. Shibori, for example, is a very old Japanese method of restoring new life to fabric in hard times. Perhaps and because we are all into the age of recycling we feel good using what otherwise would be discarded. And suddenly there is a resurgence of values, saving money and creating an artistic interest in the dilapidated. You will notice more and more rough edges, ripped gashes, darned patches and unevenly dyed fabrics. Look at this knitting bag sewn from recycled linen. How great linen is! Creatifbitsnpieces on Etsy. Thank you for reading.
