Upcycling for future of our planet

Upcycling for future of our planet

To get the badges, you use old clothes creatively and upcycle them into something new👚👛 Feel free to create some incredibles things. We’ve outlined the basic steps of the process below:

📍Step 1: Find an item you want to upcycle
We've found that the challenge of upcycling old clothes into something new is much more rewarding this way.

📍Step 2: Find a design pattern (or draw up your own sketch!)
You can download a wide variety of sewing patterns online for free (f.e. on Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/sewingfromatoz/free-sewing-patterns/) , or you can purchase them from fabric stores like JOANN’s.

📍Step 3: Stitch (or opt for a no-sew design)
The work you put in to learn and become a better sewer will be worth it in the end when you have the power to make your own clothes and save the planet while doing it.
No-sew design could be:
- cutting: you can also convert a pair of jeans into denim shorts.
- dyeing: there are various ways to dye your clothes, with tie dye being a well-known one.
- painting: All you need is your determination, inspiration, fabric paint and brushes.
