Customised Two Piece Suit
Made to Order Pimped-Up Suit. I like guys and girls in suits. But sometimes they can be a little formal and plain. I experimented with adding a some lines by stitching on the jacket and trousers. I also changed all the buttons to match the thread colour. Here is the...
Updated Jacket with Simple Applique
Customised Jackets. What to do with plain jacket lacking character? Embellish them of course! The floral print fabric on these jackets were cut out from old curtains. I then used the zigzag setting on the machine to do as satin stitch around the motif. Simple but...
Textiles Upcycling At It’s Best
Luxury Eco Clothing. The Dolly Dress was created from the same pattern I used for these dresses. But with this one I choose more luxurious fabrics. I salvaged lots of off-cuts and end of roll fabric from a Brighton based dress maker and used silks and satins to create...
Customising T-Shirts
Customised Tie Back Top. So many different style tops can be made with a simple t-shirt. Here is open ties back one that I made in the summer. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take any step by step photo instructions, but hopefully it will still make...
Eco Cotton Fairy Dress
Jersey T-shirt Dress. There is something really satisfying about a pile of jersey tops aIl in the same tones waiting to be cut up and re-assembled. Thats probably why I enjoyed making this dress so much. I started by putting the one I wanted as a top on the...

The Most Sustainable Denim
Real Eco Clothing People sometimes ask me my opinion on which sustainable brand is the best. I say the one that was never produced anything in the first place. Even the most eco brands use resources and water to grow and produce their garments. Choose second hand,...
Customised Wedding Dress
From Mother to Daughter. My friend Deniz wanted me to customise her mothers wedding dress for her own wedding. I wish I had a photo of the original but I don't. It had long sleeves and a high collared neckline. After a bit of butchering here is the outcome......
Custom Corset Dresses
Sustainable Eco Fashion. I wanted to get the lovely ladies Aji and Ruth who kindly modelled for me at Brighton Fashion Week in for a photo shoot. Thank you ladies, you both look stunning!
Eco Fashion Show
Brighton Fashion. My collection for Brighton Fashion Week also got showcased at a local Eco Fashion Show. Modeled by local students.
Brighton Fashion Week
Leftover Threads Showcase. After two months of hard work I managed to get a collection together for Brighton Fashion Week. I wanted to create a luxurious collection but also promote all body shapes. So here we have all sizes from 6 to 18 strutting the catwalk. I need...
Made To Order Summer Dresses
One Pattern Many Styles. This is the first pattern that I have made from scratch using a 2D pattern cutting method. I used Winifred Aldrich's book which was pretty easy to use. Up until now I was either pinning the fabric on a dummy or copying the shape of an...
