Giveaway- Upcycle Your Wardrobe: 21 Sewing Projects for Unique, New Fashions

Leave a comment in today’s post by October 9, 2015 and you are in the running for this detailed how-to recycled sewing book.

More about the book from the publisher Shiffer Publishing:

“Reuse, recycle, and repurpose the clothing you love, creating new, one-of-a-kind garments. Every one of the twenty-one inspiring projects in this book can be sewn quickly, even by beginners. The descriptive photo instructions make it easy to follow the process step by step. Sew a length of chiffon onto a top to create a unique dress. Change a beloved sweater by giving it a great new neckline. Revamp an old linen shirt into a trendy halter top. That favorite pair of jeans that’s got holes worn in its knees? Transform it into a denim skirt. Give a T-shirt a dramatic lace yoke, turn out-of-style pants into ever-stylish chinos, and much more.”
