A popular fashion in the US is taking on in the UK. ‘Wardrobe Refashion’ which is where people pledge to NOT buy any new clothes and instead refashion or make their own clothes for a certain amount of time.
There are lots of websites related to this but some good ones I found are –

I set up Crafted By B Studio after retiring from writing a blog for over 10 years on chronic pain. As a chronic pain sufferer myself I had always used art as a way to relax and take me away from my pain and stumbled upon paint by numbers by fluke. I was hooked from day one and went into custom paint by numbers as I progressed with my others. Over the past 3 years I have completed over 20 pieces and also made some of my own unique pieces. I am happy to help anyone who might like a custom picture made into a piece of beautiful art using this type of technology. I am also interested in lots of different types of crafts which I enjoy with my 4 grandchildren so my site will have lots of links and posts on mixed crafts and arts.

Good idea – but I tend to wear jeans or trousers and t shirts and jumpers – they don’t really date!
