Beetles and Dragons.
This is one easy way to update your old plain sweatshirts.
- Pick a shape silhouette or similar, decide on size and find a piece of fabric big enough for it.
- Get some Bondaweb and iron onto the back of the fabric.
- Draw the shape onto the back of the Bondaweb.
- Cut out, iron on to your garment.
I always sew the outlines on the machine too as washing the garment will cause the bondaweb glue to come undone. Experiment with some freestyle machine stitching over it too for more depth.

I love the shape of this jacket. But it was a little plain. So I added some frilly fringing and lace. Also changed the buttons from plain plastic to embossed silver ones. The flower brooch is removable. I do take commissions if you want your own favourite jacket embellished.

This is JC. Don’t think I know another guy that looks so good in a tu-tu. These are more like big frilly pants though. Great for those occasions where the risks of falling over is higher than normal. Party-safe in other words.

Sometimes I take on fun commissions too, like creating stage outfits for eclectic performers. Electronic producer and singer Fiona Soe Paing wanted a white dress that she could project her visuals onto whist on stage.
I used plastic piping to make the hoops and white lycra to create this piece.

I didn’t really plan to do a colour coordinated photo shoot, but it turned out that way. Great!!
- The jersey dress in the first photo is made from a black vest top and a red t-shirt that I have added to the bottom of it. I simply cut out the neckline on the red tee big enough to fit around the hem of the black vest top. Then cut up underarm seams to release the sleeve.
- Deniz is wearing an applique vest top with a red twisted denim skirt.
