Vancouverite Katherine Soucie turns used dryer sheets into fantastic pieces of clothing.
As she mentions in the video below, dryer sheets are not biodegradable, yet they’re made to be used once and then sent to the landfill. Rather than let that happen, she’s gathered up dryer sheets from the building where she used to live and turned them into a beautiful, intricate dress and top! Here’s the video:
My only concern with this project is that dryer sheets often use pretty harsh chemicals to get that clean and fresh scent. I know, it’s kind of funny that I’m feeling hesitant about making fashion from something we use to scent our clothes, but it does worry me a bit.
What do you guys think? Do the benefits outweigh the costs? I’m inclined to think they do, but I’d love to hear your take!
