The Surprising Benefits of Upcycling Old Clothes Beyond Sustainable Style
Join me as I reminisce about why I started to upcycle clothes as a teenager. My drive to upcycle, back then, stemmed from a desire to save money and express my unique personal style. Fast forward to today, I've reignited my passion for upcycling clothes - but this time I am more motivated by creativity and sustainability.

    I am plus size, and honestly it doesn’t bother me to see upcycled garments made from something plus size for someone smaller. First comers get first choice and they have the right to do whatever they wish with their purchases. Same with quilts.

    Du und ihr alle sprecht mir aus dem Herzen,. Ich musste schon in Kindertagen mit teilweise sehr wenig auskommen. I hatte imein ganzes Erwachsenenleben lang Angst, irgendwann Nichts mehr kaufen zu können. Ich war immer kreativ und habe immer gesammelt für schlechte Zeiten..... Mit Familie hatte ich zu viele Ideen, immer zu wenig Zeit und zu viele UFOs. Die schlechten Zeiten begannen vor 10 Jahren. Es kam zur Trennung, schlimme andere Dinge und zur Scheidung nach fast 30 Jahren. Ich musste umziehen. Ich *verlor* meine Familie, meine Sozialkontakte, meine Kreativität, habe keinen Platz zum Nähen, Basteln, usw. Ich habe genug Vorrat, aber keine Kraft mehr. Immer das Gefühl, nur Nützliches produzieren zu müssen. Ich habe zu wenig Geld wegen zu wenig Arbeit. Heute bin ich über deine Videos gestolpert. Ein Zeichen? Wahrscheinlich. Liebe Grüsse from Switzerland ❤

    What you call wacky is only fashion taken out of context. And frankly, you sound like someone who knows very little about context. That makes you appear quite condescending, and I give you enough grace to think that you are not aware of how you appear. And by the way, the wackiest items on this video may be your top and your earrings, although those, I did wear in the 1960s and yes, they were weird even then.

    I've occasionally bought garments I figured no non-sewer (seems to be about 95% of the population) would buy just to save them. Eg fixed the waist, donated to a shop that supports a women's shelter.

    I just turned 50, but started upcycling in my teens. I've always done it because I have very strong ideas about what I want to wear and it never exists. It used to be because I didn't have much money and it slowly turned into "OMG! Look how badly that's made" or "What poor quality fabric that's made with!". Happily, now there are resources available to help create my ideas better. The YT community is great for that. Thanks for playing your part in ghat.

  • @kellywhitmore5009

    I strongly agree with abundant selection not equaling abundant creativity! My favourite question to ask myself when mending or making is ‘How do I do this with what I already have?’ Really gets the creativity going.

  • @MrsSoup-iu4pq

    Another old lady here! I learned to sew back in the days when everyone took Home Ec in school, and I have always liked being able to have what I wanted to wear instead of whatever the fashion authorities were willing to offer. Having an older body makes it even more important to be able to make my own clothes so that I can have interesting, flattering things to wear. The added advantage of upcycling is that it gives me access to a better quality of fabrics and notions.

    • @lisettegarcia

    I love your hair. Wait until you are 75 years old. It is almost impossible to find garments that fit my aged body. What makes designers design clothes for young women (and try to tell me they were made for women of my age.) Those fashions do not work for me (or on me). I have no choice but to upcycle my old clothes. It is a good thing that I like to do it (for myself). I'm not taking on the biggest part of the Senior Citizen Centers (which are old women like me).

    • @missmatti
      @missmatti Місяць тому

      Thank you! 💖 I actually hear this a lot from women around your age. I think this is why the few brands that actually do design for women with again bodies do really well. Happy you could find your solution with upcycling! 🥰

    I have seen a handmade vintage quilt tuned into a dressing gown, but and it's a very big but, it was for theatre and the designer spent nearly £200 for the quilt at a house sale. The quilt was quite damaged and did not work as a quilt-so i see no problem with that. I have been shopping in charity shops 9thrift stores) since 1976- I have NEVER seen a handmade quilt in a charity shop-so I think many of the complaints are not realistic. When I shop in a charity shop I look purely at the fabric initially-only if the fabric is good quality and in good condition will I consider-I don't look at size or anything else. Good materials are quite rare ,actually so i wouldn't hold back because of the size.

    I wonder, would it be possible to only replace the underarm area somehow? I've recently become allergic to fragrances & cannot get the deodorant off of all my coats & jackets. I've already had to get rid of all my clothes.😞 It would be so much easier & affordable if I could figure out how to do that. I thought maybe I could cut that part out & replace it, but how would I keep it from fraying?🤔 I bought this fray glue, but it has fragrance in it.😖

    It would have been good to keep track of how long it took to make this, minus filming, so WHEN someone asked you to make them one you will know wha to charge based on your hourly rate. Also good to add up all the parts, fabric, etc. on a spreadsheet so have that information on file.

    Regarding using quilts for other purposes. I'm ok with it. Once an item belongs to you, it is yours to do with what you will. I have multiple times given a plant to a friend who ends up neglecting and letting it die. But once I've given them the plant, it's theirs. I can't take it against myself if they don't keep it alive. So, if someone sells or gives away something they've made, they have to let go of it. It's hard, i understand. By that's my opinion.

    I've been on both sides of the "buying larger sized clothes" . As a young Air Force airman's wife, I lived for $5 a bag day at Officers' Wives Thrift store. Stuff it with all the clothes you wanted. Each Plus-size pants made 2 pairs of pants for my baby. Same with shirts making 2 tops. As I aged, I got bigger. Then I did get frustrated by smaller gals grabbing the clothing I needed. The difference is, I waited until 3 p.m. to shop, figuring if it's still there nobody wanted it. Seems most of the younger generations don't care.

    Please ignore those who criticize you. They are unhappy, unfulfilled people who probably don't upcycle AT ALL. You don't need to apologize for anything you do or say. You be you and ignore those who want to pull you down. Some plus size or tiny size people will find something negative to say no matter what you do. As far as quilt recycling...you go girl and enjoy what you make for us to watch.
