| Summary |
"Jeans are such a wardrobe staple that most people end up with at least one or two pairs that don't fit them anymore, have worn out in places or have gone out of style. But instead of throwing them way, why not repurpose them? Denim is a durable and versatile fabric that's perfect for upcycling into stylish, sustainable and useful items for you, your family and friends. With clear instructions and handy tips throughout, the projects are suitable for all levels. And by buying less and creating more, you're taking positive steps to help reduce waste and extend the life of your garments."--Back cover |
