  • Not being afraid to experiment
  • Sourcing the best materials available to us
  • Using all the little pieces
  • Making new things out of old things
  • Buying used tools and equipment, especially when just getting started
  • Normalizing second hand
  • Repairing and dying to lengthen the life of our clothing
  • What to do with "unusable" scraps
  • "Recyclable" doesn't always mean it's recyclable
