Upcycle - A. Phillips - Book
Are you tired of wearing clothes that fall apart after one wash? Or struggling to find second-hand clothing that fits? Then Annie Phillips has the solution, as not only is mending and altering a better option for our environment, but you'll also be saving a pretty penny in the long run.
Upcycle will teach you how to create a more eco-friendly closet, through expert advice and practical sewing projects, on ways to repair and repurpose old clothes instead of purchasing new ones, reducing your reliance on fast fashion with this handy guide.
Offering a modern approach to sustainable sewing for the home dressmaker and fashion lovers, this book tackles the three core repair techniques: Upcycling, Mending, and Creating. Then put your skills to the test through the 18 projects that will help you to craft a wardrobe you will love to wear.
So come on, grab some fabric and a needle as Upcycle will help you to discover how sew with confidence and embrace the slow fashion movement.
SOLD IN FULL METERS - fabric, elastic, and other products that are cut to measure are available only in full meters for online orders. Its a Shopify thing and as soon as we find an awesome workaround you can count on us to make that magic happen. Want to put in a request for a 0.5 meter cut? Find the form HERE! Due to order volume, 0.5m requests will NOT be processed during online sales.
Buying fabric? Measure twice so that we can cut once! Review your pattern. Check the unit of measure (we go by meters). Add a bit of length to factor in shrinkage during prewashing.
Buying patterns? Pattern size ranges can vary depending on the pattern, designer, and style. Review the pattern closely before purchase and check your own measurements against the pattern specifications. All patterns and printed materials (books, magazines, etc.) are final sale.
Picking colours? RICK RACK does our best to accurately represent all products and colours but colours may appear different between device screens. Please be aware that any cut fabric cannot be returned or exchanged, so if you're not sure about colour drop us a line or send us an email!
