Heck yes! In the last 2 years I've started sewing to kick fast fashion, went zero-waste and switched to a completely plant based diet!! #doitfortheplanet

Vintage sheets are made of good-quality fabric. I don’t buy new clothing anymore, only buy pants new as it is difficult to find them at my local Goodwill store. It’s hit or miss, great when they have 50% off. I have 3 crates of old jeans to make into new projects. Especially now, we have to be mindful of wasting resources and money.

I love upcycling by harvesting fabric from thrifted clothes lol! I also get old purses and reuse the hardware when making new bags

I do that too! Forgot to mention that in this video but I should have.

Yes! I always feel bad about making new clothes when there is so much textile sitting at thrift stores.

Yes, and it's so often less expensive than new fabric!

I learned to use old clothes as cleaning rags from my parents. Ratty tshirts and towels, old socks, etc. They had a box next to their washing machine with all the cruddy clothes to use for cleaning. Now I do the same thing :)
