If you have sewing skills and have the use of a sewing machine, you can turn little- or never-used textile items into usable additions to your family's wardrobe or home. Some basic sewing skills are needed for repairing, changing or customizing a garment. More advanced skills are needed to remodel a garment or re-cut it for use by another family member. Before you start a recycling project, ask yourself the following questions:
If you have a suit/jacket&pants you want to customize for a summer vacation or cruise, cut off the pants at the knees, and hem them to make a shorts suit. Very stylish. Don't make the shorts too short--use the longer walking length for a pulled-together summer look.
