How To Upcycle Kids Clothes To Last Longer
"Learn how to upcycle kids clothes to last longer. Either make the clothing bigger, cut the clothing smaller, or piece the clothing together. My favorite thing to do is see how I can make any of their winter clothes last through the summer with some simple changes. Sometimes they don’t want to give up their favorite item of clothing, and I have to figure out how to make it work even though they grew. I put together a list of ideas to upcycle kids clothes to last longer. I love giving them “new” clothes without spending any money! "
