My Upcycling Adventure
I've loved to sew since I was a little girl watching my mother sew endlessly in our den. She was a great seamstress who passed it on to my sister and myself. I was a teen in the 70's and this fashion era stuck with me. I love tie dye and all the fabrics from the 70's so refashion from this era is a passion. My shop focus is to use fabrics people throw out due to "out of fashion", worn out or just don't like anymore. I use my artistic background, (art Museum educator of 25 years), to refashion these worn out clothes into funky, new fashions. Colors and textures excite me so a piece of thrifted clothing with stains or holes doesn't bother me. I use vintage tablecloths for aprons and shirts, wool sweaters for childs puppets, t shirts for skirts and bulky sweaters for updated cardigans. All my work is well thought out and attention to quality. I consider my work as sustainable and zero waste. I hope you will check out all the fun, funky refashions I have created.
