Weaving a Jacket from Upcycled Materials ♻️ Turning Fashion Industry Textile Trash into Wearable Art

[@percaelumvolo]

This was so awesome! Weaving is very intimidating to me, but your narration made it seem so approachable and I could tell you enjoyed the process. Your garment is stunning!!

[@mauricepowers3804]

I don't even weave and I really enjoyed this video but I am an artist so I love watching what other people create❤❤❤❤

[@PH7018c]

😍😍😍Very beautiful piece.. very beautiful art. If it had been to sell, I've wanted the whole piece.. no cuts. I just imagined a beautiful shawl, a wrap skirt or blouse..

[@AnimeShinigami13]

*SCREEEEEE* in joy. OMG they just threw that beautiful stuff away?! 😱

[@IwannaBinUsk2]

Fantastic! Love the upcycle (totally my thing!) and I love the randomness of it all!

[@Telekom1]

[@jamesvoigt7275]

I did have fun joining you. I love that you are confident wearing a non-standard garment. Thank you.

[@mistygeller3193]

That is gorgeous!!! What fun idea and just watching the progress was too!! Well done! I love it 😊

[@teacat55]

Long Thrums! This is such a funky fun project!!!

[@Floras_Fiber_Farrago]

I love this idea and the finished product! I have such a bad habit of keeping every little scrap even if I don't know what to do with it, but this is an inspiration to make something with them!

[@Mimulus2717]

Andrea! This is so figging adorable! I love how it turned out and so great you saved those fibers from the landfill.

[@LoveSaidNo]

The fabric looks fabulous!

[@lisascenic]

That’s really brilliant! Thanks for sharing your process.

[@annevanner]

This was really fun to watch!

[@maramakesjournals2319]

Well, that’s fabulous! 💜💜💜

[@deniseengel1451]

Very clever use of those sample yarns. I love your jacket.

[@jillipepper5353]

Great use of the scrap yarn, final article of clothing looked amazing👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@lauraseay4723]

Love it, could put blue jean pockets on it. I work in a carpet factory and collected some yarns. I plan to make baskets.

[@Thirikalee]

Woooow, it looks fantastic!

[@suseesuppiah9593]

It's absolutely gorgeous. 😍 I enjoyed watching the whole process & It was so so satisfying to see the end product.

[@corrinneloudon525]

What a brilliant idea! Thank you.

[@Willow_and_Sage]

I love this and paired with the black was perfect!

[@Rockhopper07]

So beautiful. Well done 👋👋👋

[@linfas_life1850]

Molto interessante!N bel lavoro,complimenti! 😮👍🏻😍👌🌹Saluti cordiali dalla🇨🇭🏞

[@rebekahkimsey9593]

I have loved every video/vlog you have ever done but this one is just incredible! Sustainability is near and dear to my ♥️ You saved beautiful yarn scraps from a landfill and have an amazing jacket to show for it. I’m about to put a 30 meter pre-wound warp onto my Saori loom (inspired by your 30 meters in 30 days video) Now I know what to do with all my yarn scraps. Well done🙌🏼♥️🙌🏼

[@annabauer5889]

How lovely to be able to sew with fabric you've made yourself 🥰

[@martha-anastasia]

Gorgeous fabric.. OMG I would squeal with joy finding a yarn treasure like you did

[@groovygrump]

I do the exact same thing with all my loom waste and random scraps from different projects by making a giant ball and then weaving with it. It's so fun to see the random patterns and colors and nothing is ever wasted! I like seeing what you have made with your random bits and pieces!

[@luxameepaibool2820]

❤❤❤❤❤Love your create idea from upcycled materials tuning to modern fashion with wearable art 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@uarestrong76]

THIS IS SO COOL!!!!! PLEASE OH MY GOD SHOW US MORE LIKE THIS!!! Also the zero waste and the upcycling subreddits would LOVE this.

[@Bowmanville100]

It’s beautiful❤

[@Laurette4Jesus]

Absolutely LOVE this idea! Thank you.

[@rosalindtaylor3479]

Brilliant use of fiber. Cute design. Never miss an AA video!

[@beverlythompson3246]

STUNNING!!

[@fiberchick]

❤ A thousand thumbs up !

[@cg4806]

Very nice. This is one of the few videos I have seen featuring an upcycled garment where the result is classy. As a textile artist I wish I had access to those yarn swatches, but I live in Europe.

[@11naa44]

Love it

[@DanielleCrowell-hd3py]

This is terrific!!! Thanks for sharing your process! Love it

[@lisagay-pt2nv]

Watching you weave making magic turning bits into art.

[@moxielouise]

I've missed your videos so much. I know it takes a lot of time on your part to film and edit, i love watching you work out the entire creative process

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

it's simple but so so effective!!! this is what I love about saori weaving that you can go crazy mixing different fibres and textures and it somehow just works together. i also love that you can use up such small lengths that would otherwise go to waste. thank you for rescuing these samples and giving them a new life!

[@tinahooper3470]

You lucky duck!!! I would have loved that opportunity. Good for you. Glad your project worked out so well. Stay safe and thanks for sharing.

[@breagharose1857]

Absolutely just wow. I always throw all my scraps in when I card fleece for spinning. This is so great. ❤

[@asurya8797]

That is super cute

[@kristigruel]

Sooooo coool!!!

[@annettemixon1264]

Great idea and looks fabulous. ❤

[@tanyarichmond8313]

I love this...thanks so much for sharing! I'm dreaming about a Saori loom...but, for now, I'll just keep weaving on my Kromski Harp Forte and dreaming!

[@marinamartinez6886]

Wonderful idea and finished jacket! 👍👍👍

[@jenniferh8693]

This is a gorgeous jacket Andrea!

[@lynettewykes9923]

Love the fabric you produced and it looks super in a jacket

[@JoleneOldham]

This is so cool!

[@JoleneOldham]

I couldn't figure out how you placed the yarns until that first loop with the shuttle.

[@soniatriana9091]

Stunning & Gorgeous don’t even adequately describe this wrap/cover!! Awesome idea!!!

[@AmaSharapova]

I'm in love with this jacket! amazing job!

[@karenradcliff9163]

I love it! It's so cute, it looks great on you, and I really love that the materials are salvaged. Win win WIN!

[@sueannesullivan3827]

Andrea, this was such a great randomly creative project to do after another intense year of school with projects requiring detailed planning and execution. It must have been so much fun! The jacket came out great. Also, love your hair this length! 😊

[@kristalburns3490]

Super cute!

[@understandingcat]

Thank you, wonderfully done video, helpful project idea for those of us who are not used to sewing just yet and great format.

[@Nevicica]

Your technique is smart!

[@sharnaeberlein8379]

Lovely Fun

[@jgordy4840]

Upcycling and fun pattern! I always enjoy your content.🌺

[@scottgray6276]

It’s marvelous! While watching this, the insert fabric for a coat I’m working on is in its PFD washout! I had a realization yesterday, that by switching the insert pieces, I can get the turquoise and blues into it that were lost in the initial LWl dye process!

[@Ahlathein]

So cute!

[@lauriedunn6198]

So fun!

[@hammoussiu.c.w8816]

Very interesting

[@rockinrobin1975]

Love it1 Adorable!

[@belindasilver8430]

What a great idea! I am still a fairly new weaver, and I am surprised that so many different types of yarns can be woven together successfully. I have a wide variety of yarns in my stash that I would love to use them up in various weaving projects. How will you care for your jacket in the future? Will you just hand wash and lay it flat to dry, or will it be machine washable? Thank you.

[@lauraseay4723]

Learn the weavers knot and you can't tell it's their. Some do the box knot so it won't come loose.

[@SledDog5678]

Checked out that recycle website. Note to interested parties, it costs you $2 per to DONATE your fabric. They make NO mention a credit of $2 towards any future purchase. They also have quite high prices for yardage that was given to them for free. Guess they won't be getting my 1000# plus of fabrics. (Former custom, designer/tailor-retired.)

[@SledDog5678]

Costs two dollars per pound to donate to the recycle site.

[@bella-bee]

If you’re weaving these as weft you don’t need to add these nasty knots! Just weave them in. But I think this is gorgeous!

[@1973shw]

❤❤❤

[@gabrielebruhl1218]

😀

[@janemarriott3389]

chek out IDEA STORE, Urbana, IL. I volunteer there. I hope something lie this comes in . . . I'll try my hand at this fabulousness.
