- 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.

Why did you start to upcycling clothes? Share your story below 👇🏻
I moved to a country where the clothes are expensive yet poorly made. So, I was left with no choice but to take matters into my own hands.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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! 🥰
