Top Memory-Making Ideas for Fashionistas

Have you ever wished that you still had clothes that you were wearing during important events in your life, or clothes that meant something to you but which you outgrew? Fashion trends change every season, and this can mean that it is difficult to keep your memories close to you, especially if you regularly donate or sell your old clothing. If you are struggling with this, here are some of the top memory-making ideas for fashionistas.

·       Use Embroidered Patches

Patches are a great way to express yourself with clothing, adding vibrancy to almost any basic that you can think of. However, they can also be used to stir memories and keep them alive. For instance, you might decide to invest in patches of every single place that you have traveled to or that represent special occasions in your life. By ironing or sewing these onto a jacket or bag, you will be able to keep these times close to you and remember them. This can put a smile on your face when you are going about your daily business and can even be a conversation starter for others. Although these clothes might not look great at first, with only a few sparse patches stitched onto them, the most wonderful aspect of embroidered patches is that you can keep adding to your collection as you continue to make new memories. Soon enough, you might even find that you have run out of space and have to start afresh.

·       Invest in a T-Shirt Blanket

You may have a lot of t-shirts and other clothing items in storage that you do not wear anymore. However, you might be keeping them safe because they are associated with important memories for you. If you no longer wear these clothes, you should consider getting t-shirt blankets made from them. This blanket can collate multiple memories into one and allow you to very literally wrap yourself up in your memories. This can help you feel calm and safe and can even be a stylish décor item in your home. By getting a t-shirt blanket made, you will be giving your old yet important t-shirts a new lease of life.

·       Repurpose Old Clothing

If you have recently inheritedor been given a loved one’s items of clothing, these can become cherished possessions to you. However, this does not mean that they will match your style or that you want to wear them 24/7. In that case, you might consider repurposing them and transforming them into new clothing pieces that you will regularly wear and adore. For instance, you might turn old shirts into cropped versions or create hairbands from t-shirts. You might even turn your attention to accessories and create tote bags from your old clothing pieces.

Then, rather than leaving all your clothes in storage or simply throwing them away when they are no longer of use to you, there are many ways that they can evoke memories for you. This can bring you great joy and remind you of occasions that you might otherwise forget.
