Almost everyone has clothing in their closet that no longer fits, is no longer liked, or whose fashion lifespan has long expired. But they are too valuable to throw away! Because unused clothes and old household textiles can be transformed into new, fitting, and simply stunning favorite pieces! This book reveals which materials are worth recycling, how to properly unpick, dye, and repair. Concrete projects with step-by-step instructions finally show what can be made from old dress shirts, blouses, T-shirts, jeans, or sweaters. The thoughtless consumption of textiles, or our society's textile surplus, is also partly responsible for environmental destruction and exploitation in other parts of the world. For this reason, the answer is: Buy new? No! Recycle? Yes!.
