Save money reusing your old sewing pieces

Postby augusta » 08 May 2023, 11:41

Sewing new clothes would need you adding some clothing pieces like elastics, zippers, buttons, linings, pockets etc to your them.You can save money by getting them from old clothes you want to throw away. just cut them out to reuse instead of buying new ones.

I do cut off these pieces from my old clothes I'm ready to throw away. I will use them on my new clothes instead of buying new ones for the new clothes. So cut and store previously used
elastic, buttons, zippers, and even pockets to reuse later What do you think?

I do the same, I always remove those pieces before throwing my old clothes away, (I often donate those old clothes to stores, like H&M, that recycle it), it is a waste to throw away zips, buttons, or clasps that are still good and may be useful later on.

This works well for people that can sow. They know how to combine them.

Even those that can sew can do same. just remove them and keep for new or other clothes you would be sewing jn the future.

When your tailor won't even give you the pieces of your fabric. They keep it for their use.

This is nice and money saving too but most people don't think of this and in most cases your tailor already calculated all that's needed to make your dress and still won't change anything giving them those.

That is what I see often. Some tailors don't give you remainders of pieces.

I get it now and I would be asking. Hopefully, they would be kind enough to give it to me.

There are times that I have had to recycle zippers and buttons from all clothes. It might look somehow but it really helps you to save money as far as they are still usable.

If you follow fashion and style blogs, you would get ideas on what to make out of your pieces of fabrics to add to your wardrobe collection.

I have had a few clothes made by combining some old sewing pieces. It really helps me with saving money on buying new clothes.

Yes no need wasting money all the time on buying new clothes. You can reuse the materials and save money from it.

People just buy a yard or two of a new fabric that the color rhymes with their old pieces, combine it and it looks good. Saves cost of buying an entire 6 yards for an adult.
