From Thrifted Fabrics to Linen Dreams
Hi everyone 😊
My name is Maiken , and I’m joining from Denmark. I started sewing a few years ago and have mainly been working with thrifted and repurposed fabrics, which I’ve really enjoyed. It’s been such a creative and sustainable way for me to learn and experiment.
Now I finally feel ready to take the next step and sew some of my favorite patterns in linen. At the moment, I’m planning to make three pairs of trousers, one top, and maybe a dress — and then I’ll take it from there.
I’ve also chosen a specific color palette that I want to stick to, so I’m excited to see how everything will come together as a small, cohesive wardrobe.
Looking forward to being part of this group and getting inspired by all of you!


When thrifting, do you ever use color remover and dye the garment your desired color?
