Bangladesh: Colorful Fabrics Drying
October 28, 2025, Narayanganj, Dhaka, Bangladesh: Hundreds of colour-dyed sheets of cloth are spread across a field for drying in Narayanganj, Bangladesh. The colorful cloths which sell for less than 3 USD are arranged on patches of grass to dry out completely as it is cheaper and more sustainable to dry them out in sunlight. Once the fabrics are dried, they are made into garments like t-shirts and dresses before being sold across the world. (Credit Image: © Joy Saha/ZUMA Press Wire (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)

Sew sisters: the Melbourne gala where 'it's not weird to touch each other's clothes'
Frocktails started as a dinner for 30 friends. Ten years on this party of homemade dresses has inspired events around the world.
Now in its 10th year, Melbourne Frocktails was started by a group of 30 sewers who decided to go out for dinner wearing outfits they'd made. When photos of the evening were shared on social media, others wanted to join in.
The event grew so quickly that organisers had to start issuing tickets. Despite turning to bigger and bigger venues, they always sell out in minutes.
Frocktails' popularity has spread well beyond Melbourne. Not only are similar events held all over Australia, from Darwin to Adelaide, but there are now Frocktails in New York, Seattle, Montreal, Cape Town, Wellington and Edinburgh.
The Frocktails event at The Bank on Collins in Melbourne’s CBD. A celebration of all things sewing where all attendees made their own outfits. Melbourne, Australia.

FEATURE - Polnische Künstlerin erschafft Verblüffendes aus Filz
Polish artist Alicja Kozlowska creates unusual art about everyday objects - by creating near-perfect embroidered sculptures of them using felt and sewing skills.
Inspired by conceptual artist Marcel Duchamp and Pop Art pioneer Andy Warhol, she uses a needle “like a brush”, felt, and materials from labels, newspapers, and packaging to create sculptures that look exactly like the real-life products.
These include a banana skin that would fool any pedestrian, realistic soft drink cans and bottles, crisp packets, chocolate bars and sweets, a pourable bottle of Heinz ketchup and a Kellogg’s box, as well as Doc Martens and Crocs shoes. In a nod to Warhol, she’s even created her own embroidered felt version of a Campbell’s Soup can.
Explaining what drives her, she says: “I'm inspired by daily life, everyday objects, mass culture, things to which we do not pay special attention, which are an indispensable part of our everyday life. It all intertwines with Pop Art. It's kind of infected in a positive sense.”
Although the objects look like flawlessly simple recreations, Alicja explains that making her sculptures is a painstaking and selective process.
“I am looking for mass production products that on the one hand have an interesting shape and recognizable logo and on the other hand can be a tool for articulating ideas,” she adds.
“Felt pattern is my base. This is probably the most difficult, a bit technical stage. Depending on the intended purpose, I use different fillings and fixing techniques. When the skeleton of the construction is ready, my favorite, most creative stage, thread painting begins. I embroider by hand and use a sewing machine with open toe embroidery foot with lots of interesting stitches.”
For her latest project, i.d., which is ongoing as of August 2021, Alicja is asking fans of her work from around the world to send in pictures of a drawer full of meaningful old items she can recreate in sculpture form. More details

Explaining what drives her, she says: “I'm inspired by daily life, everyday objects, mass culture, things to which we do not pay special attention, which are an indispensable part of our everyday life. It all intertwines with Pop Art. It's kind of infected in a positive sense.”
Although the objects look like flawlessly simple recreations, Alicja explains that making her sculptures is a painstaking and selective process.
“I am looking for mass production products that on the one hand have an interesting shape and recognizable logo and on the other hand can be a tool for articulating ideas,” she adds.
“Felt pattern is my base. This is probably the most difficult, a bit technical stage. Depending on the intended purpose, I use different fillings and fixing techniques. When the skeleton of the construction is ready, my favorite, most creative stage, thread painting begins. I embroider by hand and use a sewing machine with open toe embroidery foot with lots of interesting stitches.”
For her latest project, i.d., which is ongoing as of August 2021, Alicja is asking fans of her work from around the world to send in pictures of a drawer full of meaningful old items she can recreate in sculpture form. More details

FEATURE - Polnische Künstlerin erschafft Verblüffendes aus Filz
Polish artist Alicja Kozlowska creates unusual art about everyday objects - by creating near-perfect embroidered sculptures of them using felt and sewing skills.
Inspired by conceptual artist Marcel Duchamp and Pop Art pioneer Andy Warhol, she uses a needle “like a brush”, felt, and materials from labels, newspapers, and packaging to create sculptures that look exactly like the real-life products.
These include a banana skin that would fool any pedestrian, realistic soft drink cans and bottles, crisp packets, chocolate bars and sweets, a pourable bottle of Heinz ketchup and a Kellogg’s box, as well as Doc Martens and Crocs shoes. In a nod to Warhol, she’s even created her own embroidered felt version of a Campbell’s Soup can.

Bayeux Tapestry being recreated by primary school teacher - who will even weave in original errors. Mia Hansson is recreating a full-scale replica tapestry, which will have taken ten years to stitch by the time it is completed
Bayeux Tapestry being recreated by primary school teacher. It is one of the most famous depictions of a key chapter in British history - telling the story of how the Normans came to vanquish King Harold and his men at the battle of Hastings. Now an artist and primary school teacher is recreating a full-scale replica of the Bayeux Tapestry stitch by painstaking stitch - including all its original flaws and mistakes.
Whereas the original 70-metre long tapestry was produced by teams of skilled embroiderers Mia Hansson has only herself to rely on. Which explains why she has not only been working on the project for the past five years, but expects to be at it for another five. “I was searching for something that I can’t finish in a hurry”. Ms Hansson, originally from Sweden and now living in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, is drawing all the shapes and figures by freehand, using a measuring tape and calculator to scale up from photographs of the tapestry.© Jason Bye / eyevine
