Upcycled denim goodies designed and made by myself in my stitchy room

I enjoy nothing more than getting another pair of worn out and damaged jeans, then transforming them into new, bespoke and useful items.

All the denim i work with is unwearable anymore and destined for the rag trade and landfill, this is where I come in. I launder and sanitise the denim then design my items around the good bits that are left. I aim to use every last scrap, including the rivets, seems, pockets and zips. I only add extras like zips, clips and presstuds if the item needs it, so I'm not adding to the throw away society. I use preloved buttons and other fabrics to add interest to my items. I re-cover lampshades, furniture and notice boards that are tired and tatty to give them a new lease of life, further helping to prevent these items going into landfill.
