Upcycling My Old Kmart Jumper Coz it Doesn’t Fit Anymore

Upcycling My Old Kmart Jumper
In my case, there is no point in easily throwing away my old clothes, not until I analyze their potential and upgrade into something fancier and cooler than their original.

That’s what I do and I’m good at it. 

This time, I worked on my old Kmart jumper set I bought two years ago. It served its purpose and now needs a little upgrade, adding more fabric to make it more breathable, and comfortable.

@blair.villanueva Hey girlies! I finally done #upcycling my old #kmart jumper into something #cutesy and #demure. I also #verymindful used some secondhand textiles, and blinged it with some sequins I bought from @kmartaustralia #notsponsored #refashion #sustainablefashion #fashionblogger #australianfashion #sewing #diy #fyp ♬ Cute - CLOUDEE


Upcycling My Old Kmart Jumper


My upcycling designs are most of the time, spontaneous. It means my designs depend on the available materials on hand, and what’s on my mind during the day I was in the process. In this project, I managed to use the black jumper that my stepson used to own, and a few textile remnants from the previous projects, and cut out some letters which I accessorized with the sequins I got for a discount from the local Kmart store. The beading took a while to finish coz I just hand-stitched them all, and it was all worth it.

The result looks a little funk and disco, thanks to the playlist I was listening to during the process of upcycling.

I did have a lot of fun (and a lot of mess on our carpet) and I’m glad that I managed to create another set of clothing that I love and extend the life of my old one.

Isn’t that amazing?!
