BLUSH NOIR 

I designed a two-layer mini dress inspired by ladybugs. I wanted to make this fashion piece a tribute to my sister, as her favorite insect since she was little is a ladybug. I made the inside dress black, and the outside dress pink, including black and red buttons and black and red zippers. This project allowed me to explore new techniques, such as sewing organic cutouts for the first time. The dress is supposed to show a "reveal"; unbuttoning and unzipping the simpler outside to show a unique inside dress with interesting cutouts. I also wanted to make this piece sustainable, using old bedsheets donated by hotels to my school and only using natural dyes such as hibiscus tea and India ink.

eco harmony 

For this project, I designed a an upcycled piece, focusing on only using plastics and a few old shirts. The lining, ruffles, and straps of this dress is made out of plastic table covers, and the outside part of the dress is made out of old shirts my mom gave me. I collected different plastic water bottles, cut them up into circles, and layered them on top of each other to create a fun design inspired by the ocean.

Beach bag 

For this bag, I wanted to make a roomy bag with multiple pockets that I would be able to take with me anywhere. I used a canvas fabric for the outside so it’d be sturdy and hold its shape well, and a thinner linen fabric on the inside for a fun print. I added three pockets, two on the inside, and one on the outside.

Here is an example of one of these bags I’ve sold before. Purchased as a mother’s day gift. Customizable use of different fabric on the inside, pink and floral. Open for comissions!

blue linen pants  

I made these pants for the summer. I love wearing low-rise linen pants because they are very flowy and comfortable. I added a drawstring so that the size is adjustable for many to wear.

makeup pouch  

I made this bag as a gift for a friend using old quilt fabric I found. It’s a very roomy, portable bag that can be used for many things, but mainly used for makeup.
