One of my passions is making something new from something old. There is so much potential when you refashion something unwanted into something loved.
There are lots of refashion projects and refashion tutorials to help you get inspired! Don’t miss out on a bunch of upcycling projects too!
I love to refashion because it saves the environment. Instead of throwing an unwanted garment in the trash to an full landfill or donating it to an overflowing thrift store, there are so many amazing things you can do with that garment.
