Are you having fun with us in our Upcycle week???? Share your own upcycle escapades with us on Facebook and here in the comments so that we can be inspired!!!

Rachel is here today to showcase how adding your own details can turn a standard upcycle into something extraordinary. She is pulling our the glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl, and by george I think I'm going to have to place an order now!!! If you don't have a cutting machine, you can embellish with embroidery, free motion applique, fabric paint and more!

Why Upcycle???

March 04, 2015/ Suzanne Winter

So you have probably heard of upcycling or refashioning in sewing circles. It isn't a new fad, in fact it has pretty much been around for most of history, but its presence has taken a fun twist in today's sewing world. We no longer simply turn collars, or cut full skirts down for a slimmer more fashionable silhouette; the modern upcyclist looks for a way to turn an old cast off into a brand new creation.
