Kim gave us a really interesting talk about how her business started and has grown over the last 13 years. We also were privy to how Aldi's soap powder can not only clean the shirts Kim buys from Charity shop waste fabrics but how it can also clean a sink! Kim explained the process of buying the shirts, laundering them (again and again and again!) and then the painstaking task of cutting them all into strips. All the left-over fabric is given to a childrens' play scheme so, absolutely nothing is wasted.
If you would like to know more, you can find Kim's website here:- http://www.wornandwashedfabrics.com
and her Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/worn-and-washed-fabrics
It would be great to see any pieces you have made from Kims's fabrics on here or on our
Facebook page "Mimram Quilters"
Next month - Christmas party and project kit. You won't need to bring anything other than
your usual sewing items as we will provide a kit (oh, and also some yummy food, so don't
fill up before hand!)
