Synopsis

Using the freehand cutting method she is known for, Chinelo Bally demonstrates how to create new pieces from clothes many people already own, alongside projects that introduce interesting fabrics for a contemporary finish. The book challenges the idea that homemade clothing must look unstylish, positioning wardrobe remaking in line with conscious-led fashion.

Projects include transforming a man’s suit into a tailored dress and reworking an old pair of jeans into a tutu skirt, with additional fabrics and embellishments used to build colour, texture and variety. Throughout, readers are encouraged to adapt each make to their own style, aiming for results that feel distinctive and professionally finished. Suitable for readers interested in sustainable sewing and wardrobe refashioning.
