Why DIY Fashion?
In textiles, dying is the process of adding permanent and long-lasting color to a finished textile or textile material (such as fibers and yarns). Both a machine and a hand can accomplish it.
It’s not only manufacturing clothes. However, it allows you to style your clothes to reflect your ideals and individuality. Reusing old clothing or creating new items from scratch are two ways to make sure your fashion choices are environmentally responsible and sustainable. Additionally, DIY fashion is affordable, offering a more economical option than expensive designer items. Whether you have an obsession with sewing, upcycling, or creating accessories, DIY fashion lets you be the wearer as well as the designer.
