Maker Monday: Re-fashion Edition
I have so many clothes in my wardrobe that i don't wear, but sometimes a simple upcycle or re-fashion can make the world of difference.
A Mango t-shirt changed to a vest, and some end-of-line Next clearance viscose linen trousers into culottes.
It's been said that the most sustainable clothing you have are the the things you already own - truer words have never been spoken. It's important to look at clothing differently.
