Dungarees and waistcoats to promote sustainable slow fashion by being comfy, versatile and timeless pieces.
I use scrap and waste materials like scrap fabric, old curtains and waste wool to create these unique pieces. I am open to commissions to use fabrics that people often have a personal connection to, like fabric that has been gifted to them or old clothes from childhood or someone special.
My mum was a textile artist and I have grown up sewing and experimenting with textiles. I made my first pair out of some scrap fabric my Grandma gave me, which her mum gave her. My Grandma used this fabric to make clothes for my mum and her siblings. This pair of dungarees is now so special to me and many people commented on them so I decided to make some for other people. This include making some pairs for my sisters out of scraps of our baby clothes.
Or email me for commissions if you have any scrap fabric that you would like made into a pair of dungarees so comfy you will live in them!
Made from raw sheep fleece into this cosy tufted waistcoat. The wool is washed, carded, tufted and felted on the inside all by hand. A bias binding made from handmade block-printed fabric from Jaipur, India is used to finish the edges.
