Designing With Denim
Denim Dress
This dress was draped on my mannequin, one strip of denim at a time. Pinned then hand-stitched, whilst still on the mannequin. Using all recycled denim pieces.
Cowgirl Up
Using all new fashion denim, and Japanese silk/cotton. I used a technique learned from Julian Roberts, called “Subtraction”. Completed the look with straw hat, bolo tie and bandana.
Cuffed Words
Again this is all recycled denim. Some given to me, some I had in my stash. Oh, I keep a huge stash of denim at all times. The cuffs on this shirt are made from the waistband lining of a pair of jeans. The words were embroidered in black thread, perfect and needed to be seen!
