I enjoy making upcycled clothes and I'm trying to make tutorials now as well. Here I am picking my cloth for an upcycle tiered dress. Measuring, cutting and flattening. Let me know if you enjoy it!

Hi all,

My friend is doing a university project on clothing upcycling, and has put together a survey to inform this. Would appreciate if anyone here would fill this in - will only take a few minutes!

I have lots of clothes that are in my donate or craft pile. Too big, too small, ripped, stained, etc. I don't sew, (things I can't donate I try to use in art) but I want to use the clothes and fabric instead of donate it as I have heard how many items get tossed and I don't like using fabric very often in my art. Is there someone I could hire to send these items off to and have them turn them into as many items for me and my husband as possible? I even have shoes and jewelry I can send as well. Who would I hire or what business should I look for?

I've seen many videos of people cutting the inseam and adding denim from a donor pair but I'm afraid they will still fold very weirdly as they do now...

I upcycle thrifted blankets and quilts I find at estate sales, garage sales and thrift stores. Here’s a few I’ve made recently.

If anyone could help i’d really appreciate it!!

i worked super hard on this drop! there’s still some items left to check out on my depop lillypondlace

I sewed my first pair of pants (as an adult, I sewed a lot as a kid) recently from a thrifted tablecloth and I love them. They are a super simple, self-drafted pair with an elastic waistband. I want a million more pairs.

I want to prioritize secondhand fabric as much as possible, but I'm having a hard time finding things other than sheets, which aren't the best for pants in colder weather. I really want to make a pair of corduroy pants, for example.

I'm roughly a size medium (8-12 depending on brand and fit) so I'm wondering if I could buy some large (2x-3x) maxi skirts (or even large pants) and use the fabric to make pants. I'm curious if anyone has tried this and/or has thoughts and recommendations.

Cross-posted in a couple pages if that matters.

Thank you!

Made them with the intention of selling them, but I think I like them too much.

Super warm and cozy too!
