A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
I tried one of those, it damaged several things and I've not used it again
Yikes, sorry for that. I've had the electric depillers cause holes in my knitwear/sweaters more often than I like, that's why I went back to old traditions and haven't had any problems.
Could be user error for both of us, but maybe the real lesson is that clothes nowadays suck/are flimsy as hell?
I'm using mostly smooth, thightly knit fabric. Maybe we just have different fabric preferences?
