Refashioning clothing is a big trend right now. Why not give it a shot with one of these 8 projects? Whether you have an unused men’s shirt laying around your home, or you need to hit up the local thrift shop. Either way, you can make one of these pieces of clothing for next to nothing! Such a great way to upcycle old fabric to create new and fresh fashion pieces. Maybe you have an old shirt from a Grandad who has passed and a nice way to keep them with you.

So why should we try and recycle clothing? A cotton shirt requires 700 gallons of water to produce. The average American discards around 82 pounds of textile waste every year.
Every year, 92 million tons of textile waste are generated. In the last 20 years, the amount of clothing Americans tosses away has more than doubled. Approximately 85% of all textiles discarded in the United States – approximately 13 million tonnes in 2017 – are either disposed of in landfills or burnt.
According to the US EPA, textile waste accounts for roughly 5% of all landfill area.
Thanks for the feature!
