I need to do the math and figure out if the cost of materials and paying myself for labor would leave garments at a reasonable price, but I'm glad to hear the upcycled part wouldn't bother the majority of folks!</p> <p>@looch: the orange in the shirt above is from this shirt I wore when I was pregnant with him, ha!</p> <p>@Mrs. Twine: you're so sweet :happy: </p> <p>@Den mom: Yeah I had HUGE plans but didn't start getting back into sewing until around that same time at 8 months I think! I hate to think of all the $ I wasted on simple leggings when he was little, but I just did not have the energy back then.</p> <p>@loveisstrange: I found the perfect dress for you <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/125761711/unique-ewe-upcycled-2t-3t-ruffles" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/125761711/unique-ewe-upcycled-2t-3t-ruffles</a> :wink: I want to see what you've sewn for your daughter! </p> [attach=1391/13/mwhkzk.239x600.232323232-7Ffp-79-nu-323---69--66-WSNRCG-3576623-38338nu0mrj.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-clothes-for-lo-made-out-of-upcycledrepurposed-fabrics#post-1225228 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 20:04:28 +0000 looch 1225228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if they were made from my clothing or clothing I could provide, does that make sense? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-clothes-for-lo-made-out-of-upcycledrepurposed-fabrics#post-1225091 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 18:46:45 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1225091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw the hoodie you made on IG today - I would TOTALLY buy that!

I agree there is a business here that sells patchwork skirts. I mean only for kidlets - here are some examples of what I've made him with my old clothes or thrift store clothes.</p> <p>[attach=1391/13/mwh9px.449x600.Monkey-pants-2.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1391/13/mwh9q0.600x600.image-3-.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-clothes-for-lo-made-out-of-upcycledrepurposed-fabrics#post-1224781 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:08:48 +0000 blackbird 1224781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind pre owned clothing, but some of the upcycled clothes are just....too crazy for my taste. More hobo-chic than anything ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-clothes-for-lo-made-out-of-upcycledrepurposed-fabrics#post-1224778 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:07:43 +0000 immabeetoo 1224778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you follow me on IG you know I'm a little obsessed with making LO clothes. It is a lot of fun for me, and I like being able to have something unique that isn't a zillion dollars.</p> <p>I have the most fun with things that are upcycled from adult clothes; the patterns are fun and it's obviously cheaper than buying fabric fresh. I also like the environmental aspects.</p> <p>I've thought about selling kid's clothes off and on again as I get more and more practice but I wonder if people would be turned off if something wasn't made from new fabric? I know for me personally, I'm more interested in something that is one of a kind, and 'eco-friendly' but wanted to gauge other peoples' thoughts.</p> <p>So, what do you think?? </p>
