Go on, Do It Yourself...

Sustainable fashion doesn't just have to be rooted in the realms of 'organic' and 'fair trade', it's can be extracted from your own inner-creativity.


Whilst idly playing around on Facebook and Twitter, I came across an inspirational magazine called 'Cloth' which specialises in helping you to create and up-date your existing wardrobe. Instead of encouraging you to go to the nearest high street stores, they help you to re-create high street and vintage looks in a few easy steps.

Their website offers you a range of projects, techniques and workshop information to get you started, but it's their quarterly magazine that really offers exciting new ways to update your wardrobe (and your home) without feeling guilty! The best part of creating your own style is that, when a friend asks you where you brought those funky shoes from, or that pretty lace headband, you can simply say with a smile on your face, 'I made it myself'...



So, get yourself a copy of Cloth and head to your nearest craft shop/charity shop/craft fair and get creative... all in the name of fashion, of course!
