Fix It, Mend It, Repurpose It Webinar

Repurposing clothes is a great way to reduce your impact on the environment. Remake ambassador, Emily Long, walked us through how to turn something old into something new and fresh.

Key Takeaways:

• Sewing can be intimidating but all you have to do is start! Doing is learning and learning is growing. YouTube is your best friend.
• Rethink the clothes you have! Go through your closet, your dad’s closet, and your cousin’s closet and flip their pieces into something new and exciting. You can make unique one-of-a-kind pieces with what you own.
