Hello friends!<\/p>\n

I noticed the other day when surfing Instagram that a lot of you have been up-cycling garments to great effect. And you’re not alone. I recently stumbled across the company Rentrayage<\/a>, which is upcycling clothing for the fashion industry, one piece at a time.\u00a0 The re-invented pieces are quite creative and innovative, so take a look!<\/p>\n

Which brings me to my question this week: have you ever re-made a garment?<\/p>\n

\"have<\/a>If so, tell us about it! Was it a complete re-make or a smaller alteration? If you haven’t tried upcycling, is it something you’d like to try?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
