The Re:Fashion Wardrobe: Sew your own stylish, sustainable clothes

Really inspired to go through clothes that are already in my wardrobe, but no longer fit me, and refashion them into clothes that I can wear again. For instance, there are 11 refashioning projects discussed in detail, and at least three of them are achievable for me without doing any sourcing of secondhand clothing e.g. T-shirt dress (no I don't have three black t-shirts either like a previous reviewer, but I can dye the dress when I've finished sewing), the boxy shirt and the pieced linen tee.There are no patterns, but how to make pattern-making templates are discussed with clear photographs and instructions. Re-fashioning techniques are discussed in detail - again with clear diagrams/photographs and instructions.Really pleased to have bought and read this book.

Great book with clear instructions and lots of inspiration. I like that the garments are very neutral so that the focus is on shapes and techniques not the fabrics/prints.

Can’t wait to get started. Off to charity shops to find shirts. Love this book, great styles.

I fully agree with the sentiment behind this book that we must up up cycle or reuse clothing. However this book assumes you know quite a bit about sewing. Use 3 black T-shirts to make a dress - unlikely to have 3 T-shirts the same shade of black! I think the author is wanting you to buy the clothes and then upcycle, or cut up the husbands shirts. The shorts - no instructions for sewing around the pockets. Sorry but I have returned the book

Really helpful ideas for repurposing my old clothes. It gives me a chance give a new life to those items that have been in the wardrobe for ages waiting for that "one day I'll wear it again"!
