Thirteen refashion techniques that turn tired clothes into new favourites. Good for the environment; better for the wallet.

1. Crop a baggy tee. Basic scissors job.
2. Tie-dye a plain white shirt. Kit + spray bottle.
3. Turn jeans into shorts. Cuff, fringe, or straight cut.
4. Embroider over stains. Flowers cover most marks.
5. Iron-on patches for elbow holes.
6. Add fabric trim to plain sleeves. Boho instantly.
7. Convert a dress into a skirt. Cut the top off; add elastic.
8. Bleach-dye patterns. Rubber bands + diluted bleach.
9. Studs along a denim jacket collar. Rivet tool from a craft store.
10. Turn an old tee into a tote bag. Two sleeves closed = handles.
11. Patch a hole with visible mending. Sashiko-style stitches highlight rather than hide.
12. Shorten jeans with a new hem. Save the original seam; re-sew inside.
13. Add lace or ribbon to plain basics. Hot-glue or sew.

Thirteen techniques. Pick two per item. A refashioned piece feels different from a thrifted one — it's yours in a way store- bought can't match.
