These days, clothing can be bought cheap and as a result, it gets toss when it develops a hole or a rip. But this is not sustainable and is helping to fill up our landfills. There is a movement towards sustainable fashion which can encompass a variety of different things. Many people are aware of hand me downs but there are other things that can be done to make an item sustainable. The first is to repair an item instead of tossing it when there is an issue. The next is to modify an existing item. For instance, if you gain weight, you can open the side seams on a t-shirt and add some fabric. If an item has holes and cannot be repaired, you can cut it up and reuse the fabric to make something else such as cloths to use around the house or clothing for children or a quilt
