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'.

- 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.
