New Moons Ago

New Moons Ago Hobby sewing enthusiast, loves sustainable fashion, with focus on reworked denim and shirts.

The upcycle process was mostly inspired by the vintage sideshows in Oakland, CA; essentially, rebuild the old fashion for a new spin.

Some days just feel lapoopoo.

I turned one of our family’s soft old tees into a lapoopoo shirt - just a small way to say, “today’s a crappy day.”

Awareness, softness, and care -

The true foundation of giving real crap

中元普渡🕯️
從台灣的紅包🧧到美國的小費文化,都是「用心」在表達。
這次做了一件「冥紙」主題的 T 恤,向照顧彼此的心意致敬。願大家這個月都被溫柔對待。

If you love your someone, give that someone money sometimes—thanks for the laugh and the truth.
I grew up with red envelop🧧 as love in Taiwanese families, and with tipping as gratitude in American life now.
For Ghost Month, I made a tee honoring ghost money 👻💸—a tiny act of empathy for spirits, the visitors from the other side.


Pictures taken in Oakland Chinatown's Night Market, in the ghost month!

🧵 Learning & Mending with Sashiko ✨

As an interpreter, I’m not just helping with language—I’m also bringing my own jeans to repair! This time, I’m learning Sashiko embroidery to mend a pair of jeans that’s dear to my heart. I call them “Father & Son Jeans”—originally my husband’s jeans, they have been patched and repaired every year using fabric from my boys’ worn-out pants. Each stitch tells a story, and each patch adds new memories of their journey together.

📢 Last-Minute Spot Available! Due to a cancellation, one spot just opened up for tomorrow’s workshop! You can still register today—scan the QR code to sign up!

📸 I’m sharing the ‘before’ pictures now—stay tuned for the ‘after’ pictures after the workshop! Can’t wait to learn and stitch together with Lisa Salomon in , at OACC's workshop and the MHACC bilingual team (Mandarin/Cantonese)!
