AHOY! I’m Regina!

I started to sew when I was 4 years old, my doll urgently needing a new wedding dress – so naturally I used Grandmas curtains! 

I got my first sewing machine when I was 11, and I immediately extended the ends of my trousers (jeans) because I was tall for a girl. After I cut into those jeans for the first time, it was love.

The structure of denim was fascinating.

I would even sleep in denim though admittedly it was uncomfortable. We didn’t have much money and so every little piece of fabric was precious to me. This is what started me on my upcycling journey. 

My desire is to make these truly bespoke, upcycled pieces and share them with the world.

Clothing isn’t something to be thrown away – it can be transformed into something new.
