A STRONG VALUE OF MINE IS CARING FOR EARTH WHILE CREATING GREAT DESIGNS. MY GOAL IS TO ENSURE SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES IN ALL WORKS I CREATE.
SUSTAINABILITY
UPCYCLING
THESE TWO PROJECTS I AM MOST PROUD OF AND DEMONSTRATE A GREAT WAY TO BRING SUSTAINABILITY AND DESIGN TOGETHER.
DOILY DRESS: A HAND-SEWN DRESS MADE FROM SECOND-HAND DOILIES. INSPIRED BY WOMEN’S LABOR AND DOMESTIC TASKS.
THE SPYDER LOOK: TOP MADE OUT OF RECYCLED SPYDER JACKETS, INCLUDING TOGGLES & PARACORD. SKIRT IS MADE OUT OF A USED TENT.
DOILY DRESS
DRESS CREATED OUT OF ANTIQUE DOILIES THAT I COLLECTED.
SOME DOILIES HAD STAINS OR SMALL WEAR AND TEAR.
ALL HAD A UNIQUE STORY TO THEM.
DOILIES DRAPED AND PINNED ON FORM FIRST THEN COMPLETELY HAND SEWN
SPYDER JACKET UPCYCLED LOOK
PETAL BAG TOP MADE FROM DONATED SPYDER JACKETS.
SKIRT MADE FROM DONATED TENT.
THIS PROJECT USED 100% RECYCLED MATERIALS INCLUDING ZIPPERS, PARACORD, AND CORD LOCKS.
DRAPE AND PROCESS
BODICE TOP AND PETAL BAG WERE DRAPED SEPARATELY THEN CONNECTED WITH FLAT PATTERNMAKING. THE POCKET DRAPES SHOWS ELASTIC TO CHANGE LENGTHS OF THE POCKET.
