Labour of Love
Dark Fairy Godmother Dress. I got asked to take part in this years Brighton Fashion Week. How exciting! The only thing I need to come up with now is a 10 piece collection. Eeeek! I had to start somewhere, so I started with a black corset top that I had lying around....
How to Upcycle a Patchwork Blanket
Remade Blanket Skirt. This was a hand knitted granny blanket that I really liked the colours of. I unpicked the seam in the middle of the blanket and added a stretchy jersey waistline. Perfect for this winter.
Sweatshirt Applique
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...
Embellished Wool Jacket
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...
Meet JC
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. [gallery columns="2" size="medium"...
Fiona Soe Paing

Remade Jersey Dress
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...
Twisted T-shirts
A Sleeve Is a Neckline Is a Sleeve. Here is another easy and fun t-shirt upcycling idea. These are all ordinary tees that I have turned 90 degrees and made the neckline into the sleeve. The original sleeve ends up as a shoulder tie and waist tie. Fun project to do...
Experimental Applique Tops
Layers. I wanted to experiment with some vest tops I had to hand as they didn't really offer much of a look as they were. They had a string vest like netting on the top and a contrasting block colour underneath. I started with some top stitching on machine and by hand...
Subversive Clothing
Just an excuse to use this background really. Modeled by Miss Gillman
Upcycled Denim Skirt
Twisted Jeans. Another pair of black jeans turned into a one off a kind creation.
Old Jeans into New Dress
Upcycled Denim Dress. My lovely friend Jess asked me if I could make her a dress in the style of the upcycled skirts that I had previously made. I tried to keep all the key features of the jeans. Here is the outcome. [gallery columns="2" size="medium"...
