Waste Stream: Sweatshirts
Upcycling is the art of transforming old or waste items / materials into something new, adding value through creativity and design. Items are redirected from landfill, extending the life, creating new purposes and stories in the process. I have been developing my textile upcycling practice for over 25 years. Each piece is a one off, unrepeatable and handmade at my studio-shop Fabrications. I also offers a personalised made to order service called Remember Me.

Zero Waste Sweatshirts "More Love" window display, Photo: Barley MasseyDue to the recycled nature and the spontaneous way I work with features from the original garment and collage off cuts, each piece is unique and unrepeatable. All handmade at my studio / shop “Fabrications” in Hackney, East London.
