Best of Green: Fashion & Beauty

Even if you haven’t threaded a sewing machine since 7th grade Home Ec, Threadbanger makes sewing your own duds look easier than buying (no, really). Step-by-step instructions, tutorials from professional designers, and countless projects that combine old clothes or fabric with chic, simple patterns mean that, with a little time (and maybe a refresher on threading that machine), you’ll have chic, wearable pieces, perfect for do-it-yourselfers with a penchant for not looking like everyone else at the party.-Blythe Copeland
