Publishers Weekly Top 10 Lifestyle books 2023

Creative Book Awards 2024 Winner - Best Upcycling Book and Best New Author from Crafts Beautiful Magazine

Every year, tons of clothing are sent to landfill, much of it owing to fast fashion and our desire to throw away clothes that aren’t considered 'fashionable'. In this book, learn how to alter or completely deconstruct once-loved clothes to create edited or entirely new garments and accessories that are not only chic but saving the planet.
  • Beginning with advice on how to source and analyze existing clothes

  • Founder of The Refashioners movement and sewing designer Portia Lawrie will then take you step by step through a collection of inspirational garments that she has reworked to show you just how easy it is to refresh and renew any piece of clothing you come across.

  • In every project, accompanied by stage-by-stage photographs and invaluable tips, see how you can adapt and cut away at tops, trousers, dresses and more to build a stylish, modern capsule wardrobe that you can wear throughout the year.

For those of you who like to sew, this is a great addition to your library. I got my copy this week (July 17, 2023) and I’ve already read it cover to cover 📖 👀 The first 17 pages alone are worth the price! In fact, yesterday I pulled out a linen shirt that I never wore because I hated the way the sleeves looked and refashioned it into a sleeveless shirt that will now be in heavy rotation.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I'm not a die hard thrift shopper, but as someone who loves to sew, I am environmentally conscious and concerned about textile waste (including my own). This book really stood out to me because the clothes were very cool, minimal, and wearable similar to some Japanese sewing books. While the shapes or colors are not flashy, if flashy is your style, the author also talks about dyeing fabrics. If you want to customize with screen printing or embroidery, you could do that too. Those skills aren't covered in this book, but the shape of the garments are a great blank canvas for creativity. I appreciated these were not all quick slash and burn, shoddy re-fashions either. Some of these will take time to get them to look their best, and that's good, because it's also much more likely to get worn if the remake looks quality. The sewing tips were very well illustrated.

    While I tend to enjoy overly-complicated sewing patterns that take way too much time to sew, I would highly recommend this book for anyone who wants a minimal but far from boring base capsule wardrobe using garments or fabrics you already own or can source inexpensively.

    I'm looking at my "mending" basket in a very different light now.

    This is one of the best books I've read on sustainable sewing and upcycling. Things I love are that it includes a section on the reason to upcycle, along with great projects. There is even a whole section of techniques that a seamstress can apply to other projects. The projects are super stylish! I've been trying to tone down my wardrobe to create more of a capsule wardrobe. This book also touches on that topic! There is much to learn with this book! I highly recommend it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book on refashioning
    Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I’m so glad I ordered this book! I’ve been sewing for about 8 years and am familiar with the author from her online presence. There’s nothing in here I wouldn’t try! All the makes in this book are modern designs that do no look like so many of the refashioned men’s shirts and jeans turned into a skirt you see online. As to the reviewer that complained that no one had 3 matching black tshirts of the same color - the author doesn’t expect you to either. That’s what fabric dye is for. Great book! Don’t hesitate to order!

    3.0 out of 5 stars A good book for beginning sewists
    Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    The Re:Fashion Wardrobe is for the beginning sewist. It’s full of basic sewing techniques such as how to sew darts. Experienced sewists will also know the upcycling techniques such as how to take in seams, how to piece fabric, and how to take apart a garment and use it like new fabric. The styles and projects are very conservative, things like turning a simple cotton shirt into a simple crop top. Don’t expect any non-mainstream ideas from this book, such as boho or cottagecore. Don’t expect any high-fashion ideas either. It’s a great book for its audience: People who want to learn to sew basic styles using easy-to-handle, sustainable fabrics.

    Love this book. Unlike most books about recycling/reusing existing garments to make new clothes, this book doesn't have 1 garment that I wouldn't want to wear. Everything is polished and most definitively wearable. I can't wait to get started. I have several shirts in my closet that are going under the knife.
