Whether you want to update your wardrobe or just try to live a more sustainable life, upcycling is a budget-friendly, eco-friendly way to renew your old clothes.

What you need for this activity. A stet-of-the-art sewing machine would certainly be handy, but it is not a must. The most basic set of sewing accessories is enough for you, as long as you have imagination and desire.

Step one: First, find all the old clothes you no longer wear.

Attention! Designer items and those that are embellished with intricate sequins or beads are a bit more difficult to work with, so you’d better consider selling them. There are numerous online communities where you can offer them and get some money back. The other option is to donate them.

Most fabrics can be recycled, but for an amateur Gen-Z enthusiast, it is better to try denim and cotton.

Step two: Once you have chosen your item, think about how you could transform it into something you wouldd actually wear - Pinterest is great for inspiration, there are also plenty of easy guides to upcycling old clothes.

Once you have an idea of ​​what you want to do, you are good to go! Good luck!
