The idea of digging through “garbage” to get things for clothing or food has become an old phenomenon. Indeed, it is possible that those who do it will not succeed in obtaining what they want. Now the matter has changed and very few people throw waste in the garbage. There is nothing in the Syrians’ dictionary that calls for destruction or disposal. They don't have this luxury.
Who said that the sweater that was worn out, its time has passed, and it has become rubbish?
A worn-out sweater and other fabrics that are no longer suitable for use as a “robe” can bring you money to somewhat meet your needs and requirements, if you possess creativity and a “worn-out” sweater, but how?
In light of the difficult economic situation and the high cost of living, the phenomenon of recycling fabrics has expanded as it is an urgent need to secure some necessary needs and provide a source of livelihood, especially for those who master recycling in making beautiful and distinctive things, as this process depends on skill, art and taste, in addition to experience in the field of recycling waste.

Due to these difficult living conditions that most Syrian families suffer from, there has become an urgent need to benefit from any knowledge or profession to meet the growing needs of families. It is worth noting that this profession is not only for selling products to others only, as many people may make the things that their home needs instead of going And buy them at high prices.
For example, carpet prices are witnessing a crazy increase, and many families are unable to buy them, so many of them who have experience and sophistication in this industry design rugs from the remnants of winter fabrics they have, and not only that, but they also make curtains and pillows.
Those who practice this profession depend on following the markets and the needs of families, especially during the holiday periods and the advent of the holy month of Ramadan, by making decorations suitable for every occasion.
Recycling leftover fabrics or making use of any remnants found in the home depends on taste to create beautiful pieces of art that suit everyone and at the lowest costs. The work is not limited to leftover fabrics, but rather depends on anything that the family does not need, such as a useless piece of plastic, which can be used by adding artistic touches. She has to turn it into a tissue package or a sewing kit, especially since the skill of recycling has many forms and arts.
In this context, it is possible to benefit from worn-out furniture that cannot be upholstered due to its financial cost, as a way can be found to improve its appearance by making simple elegant covers that eliminate the need for recruitment.
