Book
Sew for Yourself: 50 Great Garments from Recycled Fabric, Using 5 Basic Patterns. With this guide, anyone can sew their own clothes--and by using fabric recycled from your old clothes, you can feel good about your fashion statements! Dive into your closet of clothes and remake it into the wardrobe that's perfectly you: clothes that reflect your favorite styles and your creativity, and that fit your one-of-a-kind body. Plus, give your old favourites a new life so you can wear them longer, instead of relegating them to the donation bin. The projects are designed to be so easy that new beginners will succeed. Learn how to use the patterns that come with this book, how to adjust patterns to fit you perfectly, reasons to sew with recycled fabrics, and why you should feel good about upcycling your wardrobe (and your extra blankets, sheets, or curtains). Most of all, keep your creativity flowing in everything you wear.
