Our Story
Up-Cycling at its Finest
Up-cycling is essentially taking something or parts of something that was made for one purpose and making it into something else. It's also re-purposing what was otherwise going to waste and creating something useful and new from it. "One man's trash is another man's treasure" as the old saying goes.
Melody's Fabric Re-Creations began out of the many years of working with fine fabrics, a passion for creativity, seeing the waste of fabrics, and the redeeming potential of what they could become.
In the same spirit, Melody also has a passion for people, and believes in the redeeming potential of what they can become. As such, part of Melody's vision is that 10% of all online sales goes directly to help inner-city youth in the nation's capital, providing them with opportunities for mentorship, job placement, and artistic expression.

Each item or set of items is made with a one-of-a-kind design, detailed workmanship, and quality fabrics. Melody enjoys working with a wide range of unique textiles and delights in the process of their re-creation. She hopes others will appreciate the potential she sees and the new life that comes from it.
