I have a confession to make- I am a massive hoarder. Clothing specifically, and I'm sure others have some other aspect of their lives like books or gadgets (basically something much more constructive) that they can't help but keep every item, despite the protests of sagging bookshelves or limited storage space. In my case it's the umpteen suitcases it takes to transport my closet on moving day, the hours of organising it all into colour-coordinated, razor-sharp folding piles that would put designer stores to shame. I don't buy clothes unless I desperately want/need it and is good quality, so for me each item of clothing represents the hours of researching it took to find the right piece, the cost, and more importantly, the memories associated with each one. As you can guess, there are clothes in my closet that have been in there for six years or more, and even though they're frayed, have holes, stains, or have lost their shape, I can't bear to part with them and they remain in my wardrobe on the flimsiest of excuses....
Now, you can imagine that the combination of my love of DIY with my hoards of clothes, my tiny London flat can start to resemble a Primark Boxing Day Sale. For all those hoarders like me out there, I dedicate this DIY project to you. Transforming your raggedy tees and dresses into fabric for scarves, rugs, or anything else that takes your fancy is a handy way of keeping your treasured clothes whilst simultaneously freeing up more space in your closet and creating something new. Not to mention, it is ridiculously simple to do!
