Outfit Creation - Up Cycle!

Outfit Creation - Up Cycle!

We’re so excited because we’re about to transform some incredible finds into sneakers, accessories, vests, and jackets — so you can create your perfect handmade styled outfit.

Take a look at this coverlet I found on Marketplace. I paid just $25 for it — and it even came with two pillowcases! It was already pre-quilted, which makes it an absolute dream find.

For those of you who don’t quilt, this is such an amazing way to source beautiful textiles and give them a whole new life.

I completely fell in love with the colours — they just screamed at me. The pattern is perfect, and I knew straight away it had to become something special.

Right now, I’ve got the sneakers ready for their soles, and next up I’m turning this quilt into either a quilted jacket… maybe a vest… or honestly, maybe both!

Follow along, tell us what you think, and watch these concepts come to life over the next few weeks as we prepare to take them to shows — and show everyone just how incredible a matching handmade outfit (with sneakers!) can be.
