From top to bottoms // Upcycling a blouse into something new

Take a peek at this pair of cute printed bottoms that I crafted from yet another blouse that someone left around the house. This was a large shirt so I still have some leftover fabric to work with too. My cuts need work among other things, but I like where I'm headed. It feels good to be able to make something that you know is one of a kind. What's better is that by up-cycling you are saving a garment from potentially being thrown "away"...& with the fashion industry being the world's second largest polluter behind big oil, you're doing a real justice to the earth. Sometimes it can be easier than you think to turn something that may have become trash into a treasure.
Not perfect, but who is?

Instead of buying new clothes each season, we have got to be doing more of this - upcycling.
