the front panels of a button up shirt cut out of embroidered floral tulle and overlapped such that the embroidery pattern is continuousALT
the halves no longer overlapped so that the individual button bands are visibleALT
the back of a button band; the front is a pale pink that shows through the tulle, but the back is multicolored small floral printALT

due to factors such as “time pressure” and “tulle is of the devil” my expectations for this shirt are not high. but i spent a lot of time imagining these button bands and they turned out pretty nice

The back piece of a shirt made from floral tulle. The yoke (fitted part around neck and shoulders) has five panels, the seams of which are very visible because the tulle is layered multiple times.ALT
A collar, not attached to a shirt. It has cut out bits of the tulle with embroidered leaves on them stuck to it.ALT
Close photo of the collar, fake-attached to a shirt on a person, held on with a pinch to the front. The person is also wearing a green blazer.ALT

progress on this includes:

  • attached the back and the yoke; did the yoke with wonky little panels for reinforcement(?), as it’s not double-layered, and for a fun symmetrical piecing moment
  • attached fronts to back at shoulders (not pictured)
  • constructed a collar and collar stand and arranged Leafs upon it
  • started hand stitching down leafs. it would be more elegant to do this before assembling the collar, but i can’t visualize how both the seam allowances and the crease in the collar work + the tulle is itchy if misplaced

have yet to do sleeves, side seams, finishing hand stitching on collar, attaching collar, sleeve plackets (on tulle??), cuffs, Buttonholes (evil to me)

Tulle shirt with floral embroidery hanging backlit in a windowALT

Shirt’s done except for finishing the collar handstitching & touching up some of the buttonholes (used a friend’s fancy machine with varying success). Lots of things wrong with it that are hard to see from more than three feet away

No pictures of it on me because I have yet to obtain a suitable layering piece which is a really funny problem to have!

Finished the collar! If you want to make embroidery you cut out of some tulle look like it is On There For Real this is what I did

  • roughly cut out and place embroidery. baste with glue stick (glue sticks to the back of the embroidery and not the tulle)
  • tack it down with a color matched running stitch (or whatever) along the stems and centers
  • cut off more tulle from the edges with tinier scissors
  • tack down the edges. with, in this case, a different thread color, do a faux chain stitch where you grab the very end of a stitch from the extant embroidery
  • like so
needle poking up through fabric a little beyond one of the stitches on the tulleALT
needle poked through the end of a stitch on the tulleALT
needle returning to the hole it came out ofALT
finished stitchALT

this has the benefit of kind of squashing down any tulle that didn’t get trimmed

Shirt collar with embroidered fern-like leaves stitched to itALT

and now it moves with the fabric and doesn’t stick up at the edges!

Did you know factory dumpster diving is totally possible?

Factories throw away tons of good shit that doesn’t look just right or wasn’t  refrigerated for 5 minutes. So, like, look at what items (food & non-food) are being produced close to you and ask yourself ‘do I want a fuck load of just this one product?’ and if the answer is ‘yes’, go check if they have bins out. Fill up your freezer or feed a whole neighbourhood. Share around those non-foods.

Examples of stuff I or people I know have dumpster-dived in huge quantities: french fries, tofu, cheese, vibrators (i guess that’s a literal fuck load), make up, sneakers (it was a lot of work matching the left&rights but it worked out), coats, portable speakers, and more. 

If you do this be careful of where the dumpster is ofc. At the factory I work at all of them are on property behind gates, and the security cameras can see them.

True. In all cases it is good to do a daylight scout and check out where bins, gates, security cameras and escape routes are. & Don’t forget the neighbours.

Factories that make expensive goods will have night guards and you are more likely to be mistaken for a burglar if you’re outside a factory like that at night, so if you’re going dumpster diving for luxury goods, maybe better to do it during the day and act like you work in the industrial neighborhood until you’re right next to the bin. Eating a sandwich or smoking is a good way to pass as a ‘worker on a break’ if you can look the part.

As with other dumpster diving: think about how you’re going to handle getting caught before it happens. Depending on your privilege, your confidence and your luck, you may be able to talk yourself out of a lot of situations, but it’s best to be prepared.

Added note: do NOT go dumpster diving at a warehouse with assembly lines. They take great care to make sure nothing is salvageable and (at least the ones I’ve worked at) it’s EXTREMELY dangerous because often trash is separated by employees that could not care less, meaning there are exposed blades in what should be “parts only” trash.


Repeat: assembly line dumpsters are dangerous and not worth it. You can often do a quick google search to figure out what’s just a warehouse and what’s a warehouse + factory

None of the factories I’ve worked at ever wasted time trying to make sure nothing is salvageable. You just tossed the goods and got back to work as fast as possible. But I guess that will vary from place to place.

In my experience factories have multiple dumpsters for multiple departments and some will be full of useless scraps and machine parts and dangerous stuff and those are probably close to the assembly line, while others will be closer to the packaging and shipping area and those will be full of completed and sometimes even fully packaged goods.

I’d advice doing daytime scouting, wearing gloves and never sticking your hands where you can’t see what you’re going to grab, but that’s true of all dumpster dives.
