About me

Projects
  • Punk Catwoman
    Punk CatwomanInspired by Michelle Pfeiffer's Batman Returns Catwoman, with a punk twist using safety pins and chains, and upcycling a thrifted jacket. Boned top with embroidered stitches, and my favourite part: the cowl! Made by me, with my own pattern, using duct tape, fabric and hot glue.
  • The Wolf
    The WolfFrom The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe, this was a uni project with a £20 budget. The mask was made using paper mache and elastic to create a moving jaw. The jacket was upcycled and I added an under structure with lace and ruffles.
  • Little Shop of Horrors
    Little Shop of HorrorsHere, I designed and made costumes for the musical ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ at my uni’s theatre. With the budget, I and another student made corsets suitable for theatre. The rest of the cast were styled using the costume hire and charity shop buys.
