Join the creative and sustainable upcycling challenge #REFEBULOUS2025 by @madebyLIESL (Marlies Witjes)! Give old clothes and fabrics a new life by transforming them into unique creations. In February, you’ll be encouraged to share a step of your upcycling process in a fun and accessible way.
The upcycling process
- Week 1: What if I dare…? Imagine what you could create, share inspiration and plans.
- Week 2: Time for action. Start seam-ripping, repairing, adjusting, and preparing your project.
- Week 3: Totally you. Bring your design to life by sewing, embroidering, or dyeing.
- Week 4: Show it off! Share your final result and inspire others with your creation.
How does it work?
Share your process and creations on Instagram using the hashtag #REFEBULOUS2025 and tag @madebyLIESL. Every post is a chance to win amazing sustainable prizes!
