THE CHALLENGE OF UPCYCLING

Today the top Barbie Celia is launched in the shop. It is the perfect top for any occasion. It takes some time to sew but it is pure pleasure.

Barbie Celia is an excellent upcycling-opportunity for you to make use of all those clothes in the wardrobe that you dont´t wear anymore.

Upcycling is pleasurable but it can be challenging. It can be challenging to face the fact that you actually have to destroy a garment in order to create a new one.

Upcycling can fill you with lots of doubts and the process often goes like this: What if I do something wrong? What if I cut in the wrong place? I am not good at this. I better give away the clothes. I can´t upcycle, it will look horrendous.

My advice to people who face this kinds of thoughts is; Just do it! Just cut in your old, used clothes. What could go wrong? You are tired of them anyhow so what difference could it make? Or maybe you are not tired of the clothes; maybe they are to small or the shape isn´t right or they are too outdated or you just need some change. Just do it! Just cut, sew and transform!

If you have valuable quality clothes in perfect shape you could of course sell them but if you are thinking about giving away your clothes to charity give it a second thought. The fact is that around 85% of all textiles trown away are dumped into landfills or burned. You might as well transform and refine your old clothes into something new. Upcycling is the perfect solution; You will get a new, me-made garment, there will be no waste and you save resources from the nature.
