Have you ever found a favorite piece of clothing at the thrift store, but in the wrong size or style? Some creative individuals can get creative and make it their own design.
Have you met Sarah Tyau? She’s a mom of three and refashion design dynamo, who transforms old clothes into new ones. We found some of her most creative fashion ideas on Instagram. Here they are.
Sarah’s Instagram page has nearly 300k followers who are in search of sewing instruction and refashion inspiration. She shares images of extreme clothing transformations combined with posts describing her process for creating some of the looks.
Being a stay-at-home mom to three kids with limited time, young entrepreneur Sarah learned the basics of dress making for children through an education at her high school.
Sarah is now taking sewing lessons. According to her social media, she has done a lot of things and has mastered some skills, so she is willing to learn more. She said that she wants to get better at sewing, but it would be more sophisticated and elaborate than anything else she knows how to do so far.
Sarah has a social media presence and she has plans to design her own clothing label in the future. She shares her fashion sense on her YouTube series and also gives back by donating proceeds from each sale of her clothing line.
You can limit the impact you have on clothing waste by only buying timeless, classic pieces and mixing them with trendy pieces here and there. You will also not need to buy clothes as often if you garments are less disposable.
Start with a small sewing project if you are intimidated. Shorten that skirt, slim down the sides of the dress, or customize your clothes to fit your body. Sewing can be a refreshing skill for your creative, detail oriented brain.
