Where do you get your clothes from?

At this stage, all of the clothes we have transformed are donations from family and friends and from leftover clothes from clothing swaps. In the future, we like to open it up and let anyone offer their unworn clothing.

What do you do with the leftover fabric and scraps?

Anything salvageable is kept for future projects. Even the smallest scraps can create a cool patchy something or other. You never know what you’re going to use it for, but always happy you kept it. Borderline hoarder over here, but so far it’s been worth it. For the little scraps and stuff that can’t really be used, it’s thrown into a bag and will be used to stuff pouffes!

Do you do men’s clothing?

We will be offering more unisex and masculine clothing soon! We just gotta make it!

Can you refashion or upcycle my clothes for me?

YES! Contact us with your ideas and we will make the magic happen.

I understand that the fast fashion industry is unsustainable, but it’s really all I can afford. How can I still dress sustainably?

You can still buy clothes from brands in the fast fashion stream. We know that “sustainable” clothing is often really expensive, it’s not accessible to everyone. We recommend no matter where you shop, be more intentional about the items you are buying, ask yourself some questions: will you be able to wear it with more than 3 other items in your wardrobe? Do you think you will wear it 30 times? Will it last 30 wears? Do I REALLY love this? If you answer “no” to any of those questions, don’t buy it. Find something that is a yes for all of them.

We also just really love thrift and consignment stores for a more wallet friendly place. Give those clothes another life! But, the same questions still apply, don’t just get a bunch of stuff you don’t REALLY want because it’s cheap.

How do you choose which clothes to work on?

Our goal is to reduce clothing and textile waste so we try and choose clothes that need repair, are out of style/could use some sprucing up, or aren’t wearable anymore. The clothes that are in good shape, we keep for upcoming clothing swaps, or give to consigner friends.

Upcycling and refashioning looks like fun, how do I get started?

Search for upcycled clothing on YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest. There are SO many ideas and creators out there doing some really cool things. Lots of them are specifically no sew projects, so if you don’t know how that’s totally fine.
