Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials, like an old pair of denim jeans or skirt, and turning it into a useful craft or clothing item. It's an eco-friendly way to re-use old clothing. Upcycling is ushering in an entirely new wave of entrepreneurial innovations, because buyers feel they are contributing to saving the planet. It is also a way to use your sewing skills to save money.
