recycling clothes and fabric

making unique clothes from recycled materials

Fashion? Pah. I just wear what I love regardless of fashion. Because I can't buy what I like in the shops, I create my own clothes using good quality charity shop finds as a basis. You can't go far wrong with a 1980s pencil skirt by Planet - serious quality and marvellous fabric. Add your own decoration and a dull, worthy skirt becomes something much more interesting. In fact, unique.

funky cushions, recycled fabrics

The same goes for cushions. There are some gorgeous cushion covers around but I like making my own. Original 1970s fabrics are a firm favourite.
