In part 3 of my leisure wear upcycling series, I’ll show you how I made some quick and easy adjustments to this old sweater to make it look more modern. • #clothesupcycling #upcyclingideas #upcycle #refashion #thrifting #thriftstorefinds #thriftflip #sewingtutorial #sewingtips #leisurewear #activewear #activerahul #activewearfashion #sweaterdesign • I picked it up for $1 while on a recent country town thrift run. Clothes in Sydney op shops are quite expensive so it’s worthwhile getting out of the city every once and a while. • While this sweater isn’t the prettiest, the fabric is actually lightweight making it perfect for in between seasons. • If you want to see more upcycling videos like this, please throw me a thumbs up. • I upload new upcycling and sewing tutorials each week so subscribe so you don’t miss more ideas and inspiration. • Thanks for watching.

On this channel, you'll find easy, quick, and simple step-by-step clothes upcycling tips and easy sewing tutorials. I have been thrifting, second-hand shopping, and sewing for 30+ years. I started thrifting in the 1980s. My passion is following an ethical style when it comes to my clothing choices and living an environmentally friendly life. I rarely buy new clothes (or anything new for that matter), instead shopping second hand at shops, Goodwill, Vinnies, Salvos and flea markets. • Why clothes upcycling is important. • Clothes upcycling promotes a more sustainable, creative, and responsible approach to fashion, all of which contributes to a healthier planet and a more sustainable future. • Environmental Impact • Clothes upcycling helps reduce waste by repurposing old or unwanted garments, often diverting them from landfill. With the fashion industry being one of the planets largest polluters, upcycling and repurposing clothing reduces the need for new materials and decreases carbon emissions associated with the product and disposal of clothing. • Conservation • Traditional clothing manufacturing consumes significant amounts of water, energy, and raw materials. Upcycling clothing not only extends the life of existing textiles, conserving these valuable resources, but promotes more sustainable consumption patterns. • Creative Expression • Upcycling clothes and other materials encourages creative freedom by transforming old clothes into unique, personalised garments. Upcycling and sewing fosters innovation and encourages people to experiment with designs, creating one-of-a-kind items that reflect personal style and creativity. Cost Effective Upcycling clothing can be very cost-effective by reducing money spent purchasing new clothes but can also assist charities when clothes are purchased second hand from charities. • Quality and Longevity • Repairing and mending clothing enhances the longevity of existing garments, giving them longevity in your wardrobe and limiting the need to purchase new clothes. This contrasts with fast fashion items, which are frequently designed for short-term use.
