🌿 What are recycled fabrics for sewing?

Recycled fabrics are made from reclaimed fibers from textiles or plastic waste, like PET bottles. Thanks to innovative processes, these materials are turned into new fabrics that preserve key characteristics such as quality, durability, and beauty, reducing their environmental impact.

At Katia Fabrics, we choose certified recycled fabrics with modern designs and a range of textures so that you can sew garments, accessories, and decorations with purpose.
