Since I was 8.

How and why did you get started in Upcycling/Refashioning?

My grandmother taught me to sew, then gave me her machine and cottons. I despise patterns so decides to try something else- I made a bag using random bits, and was hooked

 

​

Why do you Upcycle/Refashion/Recreate clothing from thrifted textiles?

Beautiful fabrics and vintage napery inspire me, as does the way denim ages so nicely. I
don’t want to see them stashed in a cupboard or even worse, in landfill.
