Here is a cool website about re-purposing clothing!
https://www.good.is/articles/ethical-style-don-t-donate-clothes-repurpose-them/
This article is about how when we donate so many clothes to a fund lots of time the clothes go unused and sit in warehouses for months, but what other choices do we have? This article proposes that instead of over donating we should repurpose clothes so they become new to us and we will continue to use them!
Their suggestion is that we think of new ideas of how we can make the piece of clothing better and then either make a minor alteration or a complete change to the garment to make it fun for us again. This will also reshape the way we buy clothes, because when we find something we like that isnt quite right we can still buy it and repurpose it to be what we want!
I tried this out with a onsie I got at DI. I gathered extra fabric I had around the house and sewed it in to create a little baby dress! I really enjoyed this project!
