Do you have a bag of old clothes that you can’t seem to sell on, take up much-need bedroom space AND you don’t know what to do with them? You know chucking them away would be criminal, but you could really do with that corner of your room back. YEP, us too.

The best part about learning how to sew, is that you can experiment with up-cycling old clothes and weave new life into them. You could use the clothes to practise sewing, re-use the fabrics OR to spark creative ideas to re-purpose the designs into new garments to wear.

It can be difficult to imagine a new design when you’re looking at a garment you no longer like, which is why we’ve put together this blog. Below we’ve showcased our top 5 re-work clothing brands to ignite your creative inspiration.

Let’s turn our rags into riches and de-clutter our wardrobe!
