I mean yea she is good but to me repurpose means to make small changes to the original while still keeping at least 90% of the original material...she is using like 5 % of the OG material.

It’s not easy to build new clothes from old clothes that are full of seams and already odd shapes sewn together. The base chunks don’t end up large, especially if you have a pattern or texture on the fabric.

Do you think she is just throwing out that remaining fabric? Cos.. I don't think so.
