I got a pair of jeans made of hemp a couple of years ago. For a variety of reasons, I only started wearing them regularly recently, and they are not doing well. The fabric keeps breaking down at the seams.
Are these particularly bad jeans, or is this because hemp will always do that? #sewing #mending #textiles #FiberArts

A view of the jeans in question. This is the inside of a pocket, and a hole is developing at the seams.  The fibers of the denim are frilling and not staying woven together.

'Humans’ relationships with plants is largely utilitarian, serving our needs. We generally either eat them or make things out of them.

Researchers in the College of Human Ecology (CHE) have developed a design and fabrication approach that treats these living things as companions to humans, with seeds woven into hydrogel material for hairbands, wristbands, hats and sandals, among other applications.'

This is really good and well worth the 19 minutes, even if you don't think the history of fashion in fascist Italy sounds like your cup of tea. Some of it seems obvious, in a way, but it's a topic I'd never given much thought to, and there were a number of surprises that never would've occurred to me. Good stuff well researched.
