Things we talk about:
- Getting creative with what we already have
- 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
- Plastic spools replacing wooden spools
