Upcycling can be defined as the act of taking something no longer in use and giving it a second life and new function. In doing so, the finished product often becomes more practical, valuable, and beautiful than what it previously was.
The process of upcycling and crafting garments has been a significant journey for me. As a seamstress, each item I create holds a unique quality that I have no intention of replicating. I am particularly drawn to upcycling clothing due to its sustainability aspect, especially within an industry that ranks second in global CO2 emissions. Upcycling allows me to fashion clothing that resonates with my personal style while aligning with my eco-conscious beliefs.
I wholeheartedly encourage others to embark on their fashion journey through upcycling, as it offers an accessible gateway to learn about garments and unleash one's creativity. The beauty of upcycling lies in its ability to transform existing pieces into truly remarkable creations.
