I watch a lot of upcycling and DIY videos and a lot of them are people who thrift clothes, blankets, and sheets to turn into a new piece of clothing and “give it new life” by “saving it from the landfill.”
It’s great and their heart is in the right place, but most of what they make is butt ugly. It’s fine if they themselves are going to wear what they make, but I don’t see how anyone would ever buy it and actually wear it with today’s trends and fashion standards.

I’ve never seen them turn a thrifted piece into something uglier than it initially was.
But yea it figures that most of the social media content you’d see is for quicker “beginner” upcycles with really basic construction, if the creators are even seamstresses at all.
I think some people might have different fashion sense than you. Not everyone cares about ‘fashion standards’, it’s freeing, you should try it.
