Unique-One-Off Reloved Fabric Accessories

I am a freewheeling designer maker, cutting and transforming discarded, rescued clothes and fabric scraps into accessories and clothing.
I have forever been an advocate for reusing & recycling, especially fabrics from clothes. I have a great concern about throwaway fashion. the clothes industry is one of the biggest factors in toxic pollution. Left over clothes are incinerated because of end of season fashion. Dyes used in the production of clothes produce toxic chemicals that are released into our waterways. Also, workers are often mistreated, work long hours and are paid very little.
I have studied Arts & Crafts gaining a HND Design Crafts, Art foundation degree, BA.hons Applied Arts & teaching certificate and have run and facilitated workshops and have been sewing since the age of 8 and haven't stopped since. I have developed my own designs and way of working with my sewing machine.
I found my name 'Jacynth' many years ago, it means to adorne, embellish,decorate and is also a semi precious gemstone.
