Check out The Epic Dress.



Judy has shared about the process (and again) as well as the finished version of her Scrappy Jacket. 



Her Scrappy Pouch was proof of concept. 



The logical step, after working with suit trousers and button up shirts was, of course, ties! The result being the All Tied Up Dress:





Next up was a plethora of Blanket Coats! Including her pal Rhonda’s. 



Judy started adding ‘My Mum Made It’ labels to her daughter’s garments:





Judy’s Waste Coat is made using the scraps leftover from the All Tied Up dress:





Judy’s previous waistcoat project used a pattern from 1895.

Hello! Welcome to Check Your Thread, a podcast about sewing more sustainably. Each episode we enjoy nerding out about sewing, whilst picking up ideas and useful tips for how to reduce our impact on the environment. My aim is always to approach topics with a sense of curiosity and fun, and hope to leave our listeners feeling inspired by the end of each episode. Examples of topics that we cover include sourcing second hand textiles, zero waste sewing patterns, mending, upcycling, scrap-busting and alternative and surprising sources for fabric. If there are any topics you’d like CYT to cover, anyone you’d like me to get on the podcast to chat to or you’d just like to say hi, please email me at zoe@checkyourthread.com or message me via Instagram @checkyourthread.
