I love to sew. I’m obsessed with patterns, colours and the texture of fabrics. I use up cycled materials in my projects because I like to see beyond “what is” to “what could be”. It’s a challenge that I relish. It enables me to use my imagination in so many different ways, from conceptualization, to planning and prototypes, and, finally, to a finished product.
I get most of my materials from thrifting or donations from friends and family. I feel good when I can repurpose something so it doesn't end up in a landfill. And supporting local thrift stores is a good way for me to help those causes that are near and dear to me. I also will source new materials from small women owned businesses. I'm very careful about where and how I spend my money and want to make the best choices that I can.
Because of the nature of using up cycled materials, most of my creations are one of a kind.
