Minimalism
The philosophy can be summarised as “more is more” contrasted with the minimalist motto “LESS IS MORE’.
This quote without an author came at the right time of my new movement that is sweeping some of our consciousness, of sustainability in the wardrobe and consuming….2 rather large topics. The more one researches, the more it is visible as to how much we all consume. The world today is about BIGGER AND more of it and we can access anything at any time.
I am slowing down in this area, I did an experiment on recycling the clothes that I was going to either selling or to give away to charity. I had new eyes when going through this bag of giveaways. “How can I reuse this garment”? The sewing machine was my new everyday tool. The creativity that flowed from this exercise amazed me.
Jeans transformed into a denim skirt, dress into a long tunic, and so on……
“Mother Earth’, needs a break, the less that I CAN consume the less impact to the planet.
