"Fun morning spent at this Upcycling Workshop, great ideas to easily modify and adjust items just sitting in my wardrobe I wasn't wearing. Best part we (attendees and with facilitator Bec) inspired each other and shared easy and clever tips. I've upcycled many items in my wardrobe since doing the workshop." - GD

"I'm so glad I booked a clothes altering workshop. I had several pieces of clothing that as much as I loved them, they just did not work for me. Bex gave me some great ideas and ways to change the fit and encouraged me to make alterations to them rather than sending them to landfill. She has made me think twice about the clothes I already have and a pile is gathering for my next workshop! Thanks again Bex." - Michelle

"I recently attended a clothes upcycling workshop with Bec, and it was fantastic! Bec is very knowledgeable and shared lots of practical tips. She also showed many examples of upcycled clothes, which were incredibly inspiring. The workshop was well-organized, enjoyable and fun, perfect for anyone interested in sustainable fashion. Highly recommend!" - Julie

"I loved the clothes upcycling workshop. I went straight home and started overhauling my wardrobe. I now have a pile of clothes that I have started altering to fit me properly and an upcycling pile that I will refashion to suit my style. By the end, I should have a brand new wardrobe of clothes without having spent a cent! Thanks Bec. You’re a true inspiration." - Leanne

"I did the learn to sew class with Bec. It was excellent. Great fun learning the basics and even got to make a lovely bag. Bec is a wealth of knowledge, lots of great tips. Highly recommended." - Karni

"Thoroughly enjoyed my lesson with Bec. What I learnt was how to use a skirt pattern and cut it out. Great to go along and be part of a group or one on one." - Karen M.

"Bec provided a wealth of knowledge on sewing in a fun atmosphere. Thanks Bec. Also had some great ideas on how to upcycle some clothes I no longer wear." - Karen G.

"Incredible resources - Bec has given me so many great ideas for making the most of the clothes I already have. Great workshops which are easy to follow and incredible support. Highly recommend." - Maria.

"I had a great time at the Upcycling Workshop with Second Life Upcycling. Bec is a friendly and knowledgeable teacher and I loved the collaborative atmosphere of the workshop. It has been decades since I last used a sewing machine, but Bec was able to bring me up to speed really quickly. I loved the inspiration that she gave us for making the most of the clothes that we already have. Thanks to this class, I can now breathe new life into clothes that have just been hiding at the back of my cupboard." - JJ

About me...

I have living a sustainable lifestyle for decades, including shopping second hand for 35+ years.

My home is only furnished with items I've purchased second hand, have been given, scrounged from Council Cleanups or have owned for 20+ years. I fix things when they break and, if they can't be fixed, try to repurpose them into something different.

I haven't bought new clothes for many years (except under garments) - and my wardrobe is overflowing with amazing pieces.

Personally, I believe, with a few small changes, particularly by reducing our consumption of fast fashion, we can drastically reduce our environmental impact and live a life that's kinder to our planet.

While I'm not going to personally solve climate change, I can be part of a more eco-friendly movement by sharing ideas and the tools to inspire others to make positive change. And that's why I established Second Life Upcycling. Through my clothes upcycling workshops, sewing classes, thrift shopping and sustainability sessions, I hope to encourage others to recycle, repurpose, refashion, reuse, and rethink.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you at one of my workshops soon.
