Customised Jeans

Repair and Embroidery.

Everyone loves a pair of jeans. Whatever the cut might be is a personal choice, but when I find a pair I love, I wear them until they are shreds. The places that tends to wear out first are usually pockets, crotch, and knees. So instead of getting rid of them why not repair them? Add some contrast fabrics, hand/machine embroidery etc.

Not sure how to do it yourself?  You can post them to us and we will return them to you with some added pizazz.

 

Hand Embellished Hat and Jacket

Made to Order Luxury Jacket and Hat.

Kim works for the sustainability team at the Council. She wanted me to make her a striking stage outfit. We decided on a blue-purple colour palette.  I think I got a little carried away with the beading. Hours and days later I stopped. She was very pleased with the outcome and had great comments from the crowd. Yay!

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 outcome.

If you are bored of your old suit and would like to give it a second life, specify your desired colours and style and we will do the rest.

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 effective!

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 sense.

 

  • Cut away the neckline and some of the back leaving some seam allowance.
  • Fold the new hem 2cm and sew leaving a hollow tube all the way along.
  • Crop sleeves to desired length.
  • From the leftover fabric cut a  5cm wide piece long enough to fit through the tube with a little excess to tie. You might have to stitch two pieces together to create a long enough piece.
  • Thread through the tube, adjust and tie.
