Synopsis

Are you tired of wearing clothes that fall apart after one wash? Or struggling to find second hand clothing that fits? Then Annie Phillips has the solution as not only is mending and altering a better option for our environment, but you’ll also be saving a pretty penny in the long run.

Upcycle will teach you how to create a more eco-friendly closet, through expert advice and practical sewing projects, on ways to repair and repurpose old clothes instead of purchasing new ones, reducing your reliance on fast fashion with this handy guide.

Offering a modern approach to sustainable sewing for the home dressmaker and fashion lovers, this book tackles the three core repair techniques: Upcycling, Mending, and Creating. Then put your skills to the test through the 18 projects that will help you to craft a wardrobe you will love to wear.

So come on, grab some fabric and a needle as Upcycle will help you to discover how sew with confidence and embrace the slow fashion movement.
