You can save money in so many ways when you up-cycle textiles AND you get to do a good thing for the planet! Your old clothes last longer so you are under less pressure to buy new ones. You learn to re-style and re-engineer what you have so your garments become tailored to your specific tastes and needs.
What is textile up-cycling?
“Up-cycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality and environmental value.”
-Wikipedia

More than 10% of the world’s waste originates from the clothing industry. As the world groans under the weight of discarded fast fashion it has become vitally important to consider the implications of our purchasing behaviors and garment and textile re-use. There is no time to waste, we have to act now.
