About me…
I have been doing my best to live a sustainable lifestyle for many years. I shop second hand, borrow and lend, and “under-consume” wherever possible.
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 thanks to an addiction to thrift shopping!
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 I have learned with the hope of inspiring others to also make positive change. And that’s why I established Second Life Upcycling. Through my clothes upcycling workshops, sewing classes, thrift shopping excursions 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.
BEX.
