The projects are organized around 5 main categories of everyday textiles, to learn how to easily transform the clothes and fabrics you already have at home:
- Shirts
- Jeans
- T-shirts and sweatshirts
- Sheets
- Bedspread
In each chapter, we offer you different transformation approaches:
- a sewing project with a Maéli pattern
- a step-by-step guide to carrying out a project without a pattern
- a customization idea to repair or enhance a part
- a sewing project using fabric scraps
This organization allows you to easily identify projects based on the textiles you already have at home.
This book is an invitation to democratize upcycling and to reveal the creativity that lies dormant within you.
Patterns included

- Jeanne:: the pattern is used in its original version.
- Lisa: the short version of the pattern is used for the book project.
