The Enterprising Beginning.....

Welcome to the Waste not, Want knot project. The goal is to turn textile waste into desirable objects that people want. Its a combination of all those things our grandparents told us; waste not, want not, combined with modern day landfill avoidance, reduce, reuse, recycle, and a need to liberate a great collection of fabrics and trims amassed over a few years from the back of my wardrobe, under my bed, in the roof space etc.... I have a design degree and an addiction to textile arts and crafts, lets see where it leads....

Oh my, I have been naughty not blogging about what I have been up to lately. Its winter time in NZ which is hot water bottle time ( Hey its the environmentally friendly way to stay warm) and what better way than huggling one of these guys! I've mad e them from fabric from my stash of fabrics I can't bear to throw away. Owl is made from red wool coating, Alien and friendly lion ar e made from antipill polarfleece, so not only will the fabrics keep the hot water warmer for longer but they are extra cuddly! All designs available at my felt shop www.zippitydoodah.felt.co.nz
