At Ealing Repair cafe, we also like to upcycle clothes and fabrics. Upcycling is using things that no longer are wanted or worn, but can be upcycled into other useful things. Many t-shirts and jeans are not sold at charity shops and unwanted so its good to upcycling them. So lets put those unwanted clothes to good use.



Here are our upcycling projects for:
T-shirts:
Jeans and Denim:
- DIY Simple purse: Easy sewing project
- Making a draught excluder from a pair of jeans
- Make a child’s pinafore dress from a pair of jeans
Fabric scraps:
Christmas upcycling:
- Design your own Christmas jumper. Here are some designs you can download and try yourself:
If you have some favourite things to do with your fabric and clothes, please share them with us.
