Sewing to Transform Old Clothing into Something New
Publication Date:
November 1, 2010
There's an old saying, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without," which can be traced back to WWII days when people conserved in order to help the war effort. These days the saying is "reduce, reuse, recycle." Everybody knows to recycle their plastic, newspapers and glass, but what about clothing?
Sun Protective Clothing
In a place where the winter can often seem unending, choosing
clothing to protect from the sun is probably not at the forefront of any
Minnesotan's mind.
Fashionable, Functional, and Light on the Earth: Green Clothing
Making clothing, like any other product, has an impact on the
environment. In order to reduce the negative impact, buy reused clothing from
thrift stores or good quality, long-lasting new products that are made from
recycled content or unconventional fibers. Organic cotton or alternative
fibers, such as bamboo or hemp, don't require as many chemicals to grow.
