DIY Fashion

Tired of spending too much money on handmade clothes that are produced overseas by underpaid laborers? Now is the time to make your own. It's easy enough. You don't have to know pattern making or even how to use a sewing machine! It's enough to have good ideas and a pair of scissors with a basic knowledge of how to sew by hand. So, what's there to do? It's all about recycling your old clothes to create something new and fantastic. A quick look on the Internet on sites like Etsy or Pinterest will show you a wide variety of ideas on how to transform your old clothing into something fabulous.
For example, turn an old pillow case into a darling dress for a child with practically no sewing. Want to avoid sewing altogether? What about dying your clothes with funky patterns or painting on them to create a whole new look. Certain fabrics like fleece don't even need seams on them as they don't unravel. Turn old buttons into decorations on hairpins. If you have silk clothes, cut them up into flower petal forms and make beautiful silk flowers from something that would have otherwise been discarded. Or create a beautiful patchwork style using old your old scraps and turning them into something beautiful and new.
