I started taking apart my old clothes (+ ones I thrifted) and transforming them into something new. In the process I learned more about how clothes are put together, my hands learned how to handle different types of fabric, and I learned how fabrics aged over time.
Because my found treasures came on the cheap, I refashioned everything I could get my hands on! Refashioning is now a regular part of my sewing life, and I couldn’t imagine sewing without it. The creative challenge of breaking down something old to make something new will never get old for me.
