Refashioning means creating a new fashion item by modifying or altering an existing one. Upcycling is the process of reusing clothing to create an entirely different item.
Our refashioning and upcycling DIY clothing video tutorials will teach you how to transform old clothes into new and exciting items. You can learn how to upcycle an old t-shirt into a tote bag or pillow, or how to create something new out of old denim jeans. Even old or mismatched socks can be transformed into a fashionable wardrobe for a doll.
Our tutorials feature both no-sew and sewing projects, and they are designed to inspire and guide you in creating a sustainable and zero-waste environment. And save you money too!
Take a look at these free ideas and discover how you can upcycle the clothes you already have.
