It is such a fun little experience!! sewing patches onto bags and clothes, turning pants into shorts, cutting up old t-shirts. I love upcycling clothes I once loved and it makes me re fall in love with them! I am so tired of overconsumption, learn to create it saves you money while giving you a fun project!!!!

Quite literally one of the most liberating things!! You end up looking at most pieces of clothing online and saying to yourself "I can make that", and then BAM you've made it on your sewing machine and have a new piece for your closet (while technically getting rid of ur old one!)
It's sustainable and cheaper than thrifting on Depop if you're sewing with clothes that are already in your closet; you can just deconstruct them and use the fabric for whatever your heart desires. I've linked some fun YouTube tutorials for anyone looking to start!

dyed some clothes, sewed new buttons on others. I’m frequenting the the cobbler, I’m seeing a seamstress to turn dresses into skirts. I’m sewing up holes and not caring if it’s wonky. I’ve always been a knitter but seeing all of my clothes as a hobby feels like a continuation of that. Your wardrobe can be made exactly how you want it without buying anything new!

i love collecting cool screenprinted patches or embroidered badges from art markets or online shops and sprucing up any item i own with them! or you can use scraps from clothes you’ve cut up previously if you wanna upcycle and not throw waste away.
it’s like a sticker in cloth form, and i can customize my belongings and give it my personality :D just take a needle and thread, and learn some basic backstitches or zigzag stitches, and handsew on some cool looking squares! you can take this project wherever you go, and it’s good to put on music or a movie and zone out ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

I think little bruises are pretty they remind me that im a person. I work with dogs and having them jump up on me I get little bruises all over my legs. I honestly think that give me a little touch of personality. (not condoning violence obviously)
