Upcycle an item of clothing this month
Upcycle an item of clothing this month
Make the most of your clothing and do your bit to help protect the environment at the same time.
The fashion industry produces 10% of carbon emissions and is the second largest consumer of the world's water supply.
You can help make a difference by getting creative with some of your old clothes. By turning your tired pair of jeans into some shorts or breathing new life into an old t-shirt by sewing in a contrasting pocket, you're helping to tackle the environmental impacts of the clothing industry and making yourself a new item of clothing - win win!
