Recycled Fashions and Upcycling Style

April 30, 2009 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

You’ve read all about re-imagined fashions, you may even know someone who’s designing new fashions from old.  You may even be recreating clothing yourself. There are some great ideas out there. But have you run across this style?

supportive-hands-recycledIn case this inspires your creativity, here are some sites you shouldn’t miss:

  • Fun is Always in Style A sentiment I think we can all agree upon.
  • Don’t miss the tie cape here. I WANT it.
  • I had a friend who retired on the income from these. Is it time for them again, you think?
  • Great name: Armour sans Anguish
  • Ready to try a garment or two on your own?

Recycling…and UPCycling, a post from Auntie Kate last summer.
