One of the best ways to save on the family economy It is giving new use to clothes that are becoming small, outdated or worn out, recycling clothes and adapting them to new needs or tastes.
But what Stephanie Miller, mother of four children, does with the shirts that her husband throws away, is pure art. Is it possible to dress a girl with men's shirts? She shows us that not only is it, but that the result can be surprising.
Sewing helped him overcome his postpartum depression
Stephanie Miller, 27, is an art teacher in Utah (United States) and mother of four children, who proudly shows her sewing creations through your Instagram account. And it is not surprising, because what this woman is able to do with the sewing machine is a real wonder.
Stephanie says she started sew after giving birth to her first child and that activity helped him overcome postpartum depression I was suffering.
"We lived in a one-bedroom apartment with little space so that I could continue painting without risk for my baby. I was suffering from postpartum depression, and with the lifestyle of motherhood, I felt a loss of identity - he confesses in this interview.
So she turned to the sewing machine that her husband had given her to rediscover her creative side, making small stuffed animals for her baby at first. Over time, he began watching YouTube tutorials on how to make dresses, and to follow closely the work of some seamstresses through social networks.
"Three months ago, my husband was getting rid of clothes that no longer served him, and on top of the pile was a shirt he had just given him for Christmas. I didn't like that he wanted to get rid of something so new, but the shirt had shrunk by what I decided to keep with other shirts in the hope of doing something with them. So when I saw the fashion creations of other seamstresses through Instagram I thought: I'm going to try to do the same! "
And that was how He began to make his own costumes and those of his two daughters, using fliers, dyes and other extras that transform clothes and give a creative and personalized touch.
Stephanie she feels very proud with her work, and in statements to the Huffington Post newspaper states:
Undoubtedly, this mother deserves our recognition, not only for her wonderful creations but also for her willpower and the illusion she puts into all her projects."I think it is important for children to see their parents get excited and pursue their dreams. Therefore, I want to record all my work and my projects on my Instagram account, and I really enjoy watching my progress."
