If you’ve got a closet full of clothing that doesn’t fit or is unflattering, you don’t have to dump it all at the thrift store drop-off. There’s another solution: just upcycle it! Your old clothing is actually like having an extra stash of fabric, ready to be sewn. There are hundreds of ways to upcycle your old clothes into home decor or accessories.

Here are some of our upcycling project recommendations for you. But don't limit your ideas! The list is endless and if you have a specific idea in mind, your instructor can guide you accordingly.

1. Make a shopping bag out of jeans or t-shirts
2. Makeup pouch, scarf, napkins, table mats
3. Slippers, oven gloves
4. Beanbag or Ottoman
5. Pillows for the couch with shirts, skirts or jeans
6. Blankets, aprons, baskets
7. Curtains
