before the boom of ready-to-wear fashion, every piece of clothing someone owned was made for the individual, either themselves or by someone they knew. now, around 30 years after fast fashion began taking hold, we don’t know who delivered our dress to store, let alone who made it.

it's no secret that fashion and clothes are used to express one’s self, so why don’t we capitalize on that and make our clothes uniquely for ourselves. we are all one-of-a-kind, and our clothes should be too. no matter the skill level you may have, we have provided all different kinds of DIYs you can do with your old, used, or thrifted clothing and jewelry items.
