What does GFG mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Garment From Garment (GFG) is a sustainable fashion movement that promotes the concept of upcycling clothes to create new pieces. GFG encourages people to reimagine old fabrics and garments, providing creative solutions for revamping their wardrobe.

By upcycling pre-existing clothing items, GFG reduces textile waste and the need for production of new garments, which has long term benefits for preserving natural resources. Additionally, GFG eliminates the need for harmful chemicals that are typically used in fabric production.

Any type of fabric or material you have can be used with GFG. This includes previously worn garments such as t-shirts, jeans, sweaters, etc., as well as scrap fabrics from other projects. It's also possible to combine pieces from different materials together to create something completely unique.

First things first — gather your materials! You can upcycle fabrics from old clothing items or use scrap materials from other projects. Once you have gathered your materials you can start brainstorming ideas on how you want to transform them into something new. The possibilities are endless!

Absolutely! There are plenty of helpful tutorials available online ranging from beginner level to advanced techniques when it comes to upcycling fabrics and creating something totally unique. Looking through these tutorials can help provide insight into the creative process behind transforming old materials into something new.

Basic tools will include a pair of sharp scissors, pins/needles, thread, measuring tape and an iron. Depending on your project needs there may be additional tools such as a sewing machine or speciality fabric scissors needed but these are not always necessary.

This really depends on the complexity of your project and your skill level when it comes to working with fabric manipulation. If you are starting out with basic techniques like cutting and sewing then it could take 3-5 hours depending on the size of the item you are creating. But if you're doing more advanced techniques like applique or embroidery then it could take quite a bit longer.

The internet is full of creative ideas! Social media sites like Pinterest and Instagram have no shortage of ideas that can spark some inspiration for your next project. Additionally there are various blogs dedicated specifically to garment refashioning that offer step by step instructions which could be very useful in helping bring your vision to life.

Although having some prior knowledge in textiles is beneficial, anyone can engage in garment refashioning with just basic sewing skills such as cutting fabric accurately and using hand stitches or a sewing machine safely and properly. With practice anyone can master even more complex techniques such as applique or embroidery.

Yes absolutely! All recycled materials should be thoroughly cleaned prior to being used in order for them safe to wear against skin. Additionally natural non-toxic dyes should be used when colorizing fabrics in order avoid any potential risk.
