    I remember when I was little, the flour sack were made of white fabric, my mother made shorts out of it and a blanket that I love so much. I was so proud of my blanket that my older sisters teased me about it. I really don’t understand them for I thought I was very lucky that my mom made it just for me.

      I'd consider asking art galleries in your area! One called Frank in Chapel Hill, NC used to do a no fabric dress challenge (called rubbish 2 runway) to challenge artists and promote recycling (the main focus was on the fact materials can be recycled into smth else aka a dress). They gave awards, displayed the dresses for awhile, and did a whole runway. I made a dress entirely out of caprisun pouches (which I do not recommend lol). Sadly they seemed to have stopped doing it tho, good luck with something in your area! Wish I could participate in another

    When I was a kid ( I’m 60 now) they used to sell rice, flour and oats in cotton floral bags. My mom and sisters used to take them when they had enough saved up and made clothes out of them. Dresses all kinds of things. As I recall they were really beautiful. Does anyone else remember doing this. The picture of the dress you made was really beautiful and you certainly deserved to win....

      Foil candy wrappers would have been a safer idea - no sharp edges. Plus they could have added color to the flowers. Unless... you didn't have access to sufficent candy wrappers because you eat healthy?

      lol I don't really eat that healthy, but a friend of mine who also did the competition was using wrappers, so I tried to avoid it :/

    Wow! You’re amazing!!! So talented!!! This reminds me of the time my Mom made tea party hats for all our guests for my 5th birthday party. She made the hats with plates, bowls & ribbon. She started by tracing the bottom of the bowl onto the middle of the hat then cut the traced area out leaving a kinda donut shaped plate. Then, she flipped the bowls upside down & glued them to the center of the hat to close the donut shape & since they were cut out there & the bowl was ya know a bowl, there was enough room for the tops of our little heads ~ wala a party hat was born! She then spray painted them yellow & punched holes on either side of the brim & knotted 2 ribbons (one on each side) underneath which we used to tie in a bow under our chin to keep the hats on. She may have even added some ribbon or faux flowers to trim the brim but I can’t remember. They were super cute! Love your unorthodox methods of sewing. We have similar ways of creating 💕 (I’m a jewelry designer). You’re so fun to watch!

    My mother and her sisters had feed sack dresses during the Great Depression. That's all they knew and didn't think anything of it. The feed companies began printing feed sacks with print to help the look of the dresses. You can see some of them displayed in museums.
