"When I finish fixing a sofa and its fabric is unique, I make a suit out of it."

Ali Sarsour is all about style with zero waste

The fashion enthusiast spends his days upholstering furniture

and uses the leftover fabric to create bold looks

which he shows off on walks with his dog, Juli

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) JORDANIAN UPHOLSTERER AND FASHION ENTHUSIAST, ALI SARSOUR, SAYING:

"I like recycling a lot and I feel that I am a chair moving on the street. People know now that Ali Sarsour is an upholsterer and this strange suit he is wearing is made out of leftover fabric from a chair. It is really a nice feeling to recycle from my work and create something unique instead of getting rid of it."
