My first upcycling
Our take
This marks my first foray into upcycling, transforming an oversized 80s leather coat into something uniquely mine. Struggling to style it, I found inspiration in old tartan skirts, which I repurposed into striking patches. With a few splashes of red paint and a touch of glue—hand-sewing leather proved to be a challenge—I crafted a piece that resonates deeply with me. Influenced by punk and social movements, I wanted to convey a powerful message: “Get a Life,” addressing the hypocrisy surrounding societal issues while celebrating self-expression.
 | This was my first Upcycling. I had a 80s leather coat that was bigger than my size, but I didn't know how I could wear it, so I had an ideia I bought old tartan skirts to make the patches you see, red paint and some stuff I used a bit of clue because it's not that easy to sew leather by hand, even more the first time My inspiration was the punks and social moviments "Get a Life" is a meaningful message addressed to people who are so much busy about LBGT community to "protect children" but pretend to not see that their preacher is r4ping children in church [link] [comments] |
