I'm A Myrtle!

Location:

Australia

About Me:

I use a lot of reclaimed fabrics in my work and all fabrics have lived past their use by dates in their previous lives, they used to be a curtain or a dress or a skirt or a pair of pants; but rest assured they all went willingly! RIP
Now the fabrics are born again, washed clean, reformed and able to live again :)

Gender:

Gal

I am a/an:

Independent Artist/Designer, Blogger, Supporter

(Designers only) I create:

I create clothing and handbags from recycled fabrics, my fabrics are from op shops, markets, garage sales etc. Curtains, maxi dresses, off cuts, Plus size clothing, Sample Books; all of these plus some new stuff as well, anything is fair game when I have scissors in my hand!

My garments are all unique; I design the clothing, make my own patterns and do all of the construction myself, the embroidery is also done by hand.

Almost all of my garments are one offs as I rarely get each fabric in enough bulk to make more than one item from it. I can however make the same garment in different fabrics and only rarely 2 or 3 of a kind.

I have a passion that I need to express and a large collection of fabric, I create garments from vintage, recycled and new fabrics.

Favorite Designers/Artists:

I am a fan of anyone who can create anything and then put it out there for all to see... sometimes it feels like being naked in public!!
