Do you have an item clothing you haven’t worn in a while? You like the shape and fit but wish it was more exciting? Or maybe you have something you ‘grew’ out of but love so much you want to keep wearing it. What about spots or holes?
Well, I can help! Using embroidery, vintage patches, fabric samples, and imagination, I can create a new custom piece for you. Below are examples of work I’ve done. Let me loose, or we can work together to make your old clothes new again!
20+ year old Dries Van Noten pants, fit great but a bit tired. I embroidered stick figures doing a variety of activities on one leg and added reclaimed trim as a side stripe on the other.
Vintage Dries Van Noten over shirt. Lovely piece but quite faded. I added some colorful accents to existing embroidery and put a hand embroidered patch on the back.
I took a client’s late father’s shirt, cut it down to fit her and added customer embroidery to memorialize her drag racing loving dad.
Client gave me 2 Levi’s jackets, a vintage Vivienne Westwood vest, and several patches they had picked up over the years. They also sent some inspiration photos. Using some of my stash of reclaimed fabric, patches, and notions I created these stunners. Very happy and stylish client!
With a blown out butt, small holes, and super worn areas, these jeans needed some help. With some reclaimed fabric, vintage patches, and a bit of hand embroidery, they are ready to live their best life.
An unfortunate accident with bleach ruined this wool blazer. A jaunty bee and a few flowers easily covered the damage.
This down jacket is better than ever with the addition of a hand embroidered and reclaimed patch.
Summer dress created from two thrifted Men’s shirts.
Client had a closet full of lovely unworn blazers, with her input several have been recreated.
This client’s favorite linen shift had some damage and wear. With some hand embroidery and reclaimed notions it’s ready to go again.
Another denim jacket: Client had this favorite piece that they wanted to add a few more favorite phrases. Used hand embroidery and reclaimed patches.
One more sporty denim jacket redo!
Small holes very visibly mended with delicate hand embroidered flowers.
Bigger holes = bigger flowers!
Instead of moth holes, hand embroidered moths.
