It's great to have new ideas to work with though, and hopefully we can each find a way to reduce or reuse that we are happy with! You can tell I've been making some scarves lately, but I like the comment that detachable collars are a kind of scarf - so true :)Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-4850367561864308392021-12-07T04:33:14.714-05:002021-12-07T04:33:14.714-05:00It is so interesting!

I feel almost guilty because on the face of it there doesn't appear to be much skill .... and yet, how important is it to avoid excessive waste? I really don't believe zero waste is totally possible as, like any pattern, there still has to be some changes made to a finished item to suit our aesthetics. And one way of solving this problem is to use our scraps in a variety of ways, and have fun doing it! <br />I read a post by Diane Ericson not so long back, saying isn't a detachable collar really a scarf? Which is true vice versa. And I wear many collarless tops, so am currently sewing a couple of reversible scarfs using scraps, either in construction or as a freeform decoration. I will see what comments I get! Wendy Ward is definitely on to something. <br />Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286531350427715397noreply@blogger.com
