Merideth Rue, seamstress Fun fashion that is sustainable, cost-effective, and creative. In a world where so much is thrown away, I create upcycled wear for the whole family!

Upcycling is the process of creating something new and better from old items. In contrast to reusing or recycling, upcycling uses existing materials to improve upon the original ones. The process requires a considerable amount of creativity and vision, as well as a foundation of thriftiness and environmental consciousness. The end result is typically a product or item that is one-of-a-kind, handma

de, and sustainable. For instance, reusing or recycling worn T-shirts could mean that you use them as cleaning rags; upcycling could mean that you recreate the shirts into a handmade, unique braided rug.
