I had been searching for some light weight orange fabric to make an easy breezy summer dress all season long. And, found it on the clearance rack as a beach coverup. Once the Green dress was successfully made from a recycled sheet found at Goodwill. I started looking at fabrics in different forms. I do have a tendency to Repurpose or even Recycle items in my kloset. And, this post reflects just that. On one of my trips to Target, I found three oversized beach coverups from the clearance rack and I have "Re-Worked" & Upcycled them into garments that I want to wear.
What is Upcycling? Simply put, upcycling is the process of enhancing a product. The functionality of the item is still the same, however, it looks and serves much better than previously. The ‘up’ in upcycling means that the product has moved up the chain into something that is better.
