Make it and mend it at the Oscars

We are deighted to see that BBC Breakfast has joined the Make it and Mend it revolution.

Presenter Susannah Reid hit the red carpet at the Oscars, wearing a designer dress by Christopher Kane, which cost £50 from Oxfam. The dress was restyled with some rhinestones by the designer himself and accessorised with a pair of £9 earrings also from Oxfam.

So get out on the high street and start rummaging: there are some vintage gems out there and with some restyling and customisation you can make them even better.

Hairy legwarmers made from a jacket

These colourful legs belong to Anne's Swedish yoga teacher Jeanette. She is the most amazing person. She has an allotment, makes delicious soup with vegetables she has grown herself and snaps up some great charity shop bargains.

Jeanette has a creative talent for recycling and restyling clothes. What she's wearing in this photo as leggings used to be the the arms of an old jacket. They're warm and look great tucked into boots. We'd love to see some other interesting examples of recycled and restyled clothes.
