This jacket was born from leftovers. After my previous projects, I had the upper parts of jeans left over, the parts that usually get thrown away. I decided to combine them and create something special. The pieces are sewn together, and then I decorated them with hand stitching. I love hand stitching: it lets me spend more time with each piece and put a part of myself into it, and that makes it truly special. I upcycle all kinds of fabrics, but denim is my favourite. In my opinion, the most interesting pieces are born from the smallest scraps.
Transform vintage clothing, thrifted items found in Bangkok, into one of a kind,
An old pair of jeans was deconstructed and upcycled into a fitted, cropped top. The design retains original denim elements such as pockets, seams, topstitching, and fastening details, integrating them into a new silhouette. This project explores material reuse, creative reconstruction, and sustainable fashion by transforming discarded clothing into a distinctive, wearable piece.
This bag was reborn from forgotten materials, transformed through art and creativity into a sea embracing four little red fish. Their story is one of renewal—a reminder that with a fresh perspective, we can breathe new life into discarded materials and give our planet a chance to breathe. Fish thrive in water; our planet thrives on the new possibilities we create. 💙 #wtu2026
To create this garment, I collected 5 old pairs of jeans, washed them, and deconstructed them by removing the rivets. I drafted the patterns for a jacket and cut each piece, making the most of the original pockets and shades. For the front welt pockets, I used the thinnest denim and softer fabric to make it lighter. On the back, I designed a patchwork piece of my favorite character using fabric scraps and faux leather. During the creation of this piece in July, I was finishing my training as a pattern-drafting student, which is why I am wearing my technical academy uniform in the video. However, the entire design and creation were entirely my own concept and authorship. This long and challenging process gave those old pants a new life, turning them into a completely different, functional, and beautiful garment. Thank you, blessings.
I hand painted this thrifted denim jacket using Angelus brand premium paints. The gold is metallic gold. Size is XL and would make a great gift for a TransAm car lover.
Ten Thousand Transactions A dress made entirely out of receipts featuring 10,000 folded origami cranes! This project took over 2 years to complete and features several different paper manipulation techniques. Receipts are unable to be recycled so they have to go into the landfill, and it is easy to find yourself with a bunch of them in a short period of time. I used thousands of them to fold into paper cranes while saving the scraps for the bodice. I shredded and glued most of them to create the feathers and kept some strips to paper mache the bodice. Each feather on the front was embroidered with hand rolled beads made from the tiny scraps. The origami cranes were hand sewn to a large sheet of paper I made out of rolls of unused receipt paper. To create the gradient effect on the skirt I used heat and spray adhesive that reacts with the thermal elements on the paper.

Hand Crocheted Caution Tape Dress ⚠️❤️ I hand crochet this upcycled design out of caution tape for the annual Cincy Street Meet event hosted in Cincinnati, OH.
This look is part of my project called Sulapa': A Gentle Strength. The idea is inspired by a Bugis philosophy of "Sulapa' Eppa" (literal meaning: square/four sides), talking about natural elements, worldviews, and human principles. This one represents Fire, which is meant to convey the idea of energy, warmth, and a bright spirit. So, I designed this to be a four-in-one look consisting of a midi dress, a sleeveless vest, and a bolero/shrug. • The materials: Leftover cotton, organza, and embroidered tulle from fashion gallery waste combined with an unused Lipa' Sabbe (Bugis handwoven sarong) of my own. • Key construction: Side-seam drawstring gathering, window cut-out sleeve details, and tulle accent.
