How it works

  • 1

    Sourcing

    I go to local thrift stores and look for textiles that might otherwise end up in landfill. Pieces with stains, rips, or flaws that most people would pass on. I also use materials from my own closet and accept donations from friends and family.

    Inspiration

    I pull inspiration from everywhere, my own closet, other upcycle artists, nature, color palettes, and textures. Every piece starts with a vision, but I let the materials guide the final design.

  • 3

    Rework

    Each piece is completely reworked by me into something new. Depending on the design and materials, it usually takes me between 5–10 hours to complete a single piece.

    Release

    Pieces are released either on my website or through live shows. Follow along on Instagram (@sewflippingthrifty) or join the mailing list to stay in the loop on upcoming drops.

    It's Gone

    Because every piece is made from unique, secondhand materials, nothing can ever be recreated exactly the same. If you see something you love, grab it while it’s available!
