I've been seeing a lot about this 'upcycling' business lately, which is something I have been doing since I started buying second hand clothes. It's basically a trendy name for altering weirdly shaped or awkward clothes into something that someone in their right mind might actually wear. It's also interesting to reappropriate something from a previous decade into something wearable and stylish nowadays.
As always on Etsy you have to browse through a lot of crap in order to find the goods (kind of like thrift shopping in real life), but I did manage to find a few decent upcycled pieces.
PFS Vintage also features several items which I've altered:
With minimal sewing skills, a good eye for potential and the right amount of planning you can turn something outdated into something modern and cute. It's a great way to save money and still be able to have unique and fun clothes. Give it a try, or check out my stuff!
