Thrifty Sewing Patterns for Tight Budgets

Save money with upcycling and refashioning DIY ideas. [We Like Sewing]( March 6, 2024 [Don’t toss it — upcycle it!]( Getting thrifty is a good look [Upcycling Collection] Make something old new again. Our new collection has high style for a low price. Get this collection and a whole lot more when you become a [We Like Sewing Gold Member]( today! Dear Sewing Superstar, Upcycling is all the rage these days; why buy new when you can repurpose something you already have — or that you can get inexpensively or even free? Thrift shops are full of possibilities. Of course, you may not have to look any farther than your fabric stash — or the back of your closet — for inspiration. These projects are perfect for seasoned sewists and beginners alike. Get ready for some creative upcycling! Coat styles come and go, but leather is virtually forever. You can take a thrift store coat — or a “vintage” coat you’ve had stashed in the back of your closet — and transform it into new stylish purse. This project achieves two goals: it keeps an old coat out of the waste stream, and it gives you a fashionable new purse without the high fashion price tag! [New Beginnings Refashioned Leather Bag] The tutorial for our New Beginnings Refashioned Leather Bag walks you through each step of the process, from choosing the ideal coat to use as the fabric for your purse to the little details on making this a well-constructed purse that will dress up almost any outfit!

Get a jump on your summer wardrobe with something “new”! [Take Flight Upcycled Applique Top] What about that plain shirt that you’ve had on standby forever — you know, that extra one you bought to layer with other shirts?
