In this video I'll show you how I flipped an oversized knit jumper into a cute cropped sweater with matching short set.
This video is part of a thrift flip series where I turn old secondhand clothing into new styles, so check out the playlist if you’re interested.
Welcome to Slew Living! I'm Esther and I sew stuff to support a slow lifestyle.
If you’re starting to learn about sustainable and ethical fashion and how to curate a more mindful closet, a great step is to learn how to flip old clothing and make it last longer. This way you can upcycle old clothing from your own wardrobe that you no longer wear, or buy secondhand garments from thrift stores and give them new life!
You might be surprised to learn that most carbon emissions emitted from the fashion supply chain are from the end user (us!), that come from caring for the garment - things like washing, drying and disposing of it at the end of it’s life. Prolonging the life of a garment therefore decreases the emissions required to create new garments, and also the disposal of it to landfill. In the words of Vivienne Westwood, ‘Buy less, choose well and make it last!’
