Summer is officially here! Kicking it off by taking up some golf polos. The material can be quite temperamental, so I used scraps first to ensure a flawless finish. Loved using a twin needle to give the hems that crisp, professional look. ⛳👕

A little tailoring job from before Christmas. Made my own bias tape so the colour and fabric would match their jacket lapels.

I believe these are called 'Lampasse' and would originally have been used to indicate rank by uniform.

Restoration project of a much-loved jacket with plenty of history stitched into it.

Rather than hiding the damage, we chose visible repairs — celebrating the wear, the miles, and the memories — while making it strong and wearable again.

I love work like this… preserving the story of a garment and giving it a new chapter. ♻️🪡

I absolutely love seeing mums encouraging their girls to choose beautiful second-hand prom dresses 💕 It’s such a lovely, sustainable choice — and I’m always here to help make sure the dress fits perfectly for their special night.

For this gown, we extended the straps and brought the waist in to create a more flattering, comfortable fit — small changes that make a big difference!

If you’ve got a prom dress that needs a little tweaking, pop me a message and book in nice and early for alterations 💌

Before & After: Cuff Alteration
I've shortened the sleeves on this men’s jacket by removing and reattaching the cuff. The finish is neat, professional, and ready to wear!

Handmade with love. ✨

This sensory cube was created as a special baby shower gift. With a mix of textures, colors, and patterns, it’s perfect for little hands to explore and tiny minds to stay curious. 👶 I really enjoy making different things – especially unique gifts for loved ones!

💙 Mother of the Groom 💙

Una came to me with a favourite vintage dress and asked if I could recreate it for her son’s wedding. We chose chiffon with a satin stretch lining – tricky to work with, but worth every stitch when you see her looking this radiant! ✨

✨ You might notice a few changes around here! ✨
Don’t worry — Nufin Wasted is still alive and well over on Instagram.

I’ve decided to give this space a new focus: a home for my custom work — alterations, commissions, and some of the bigger projects I’ve been pouring time into behind the scenes.

Splitting the two platforms will make it easier to share more of what I do without it getting lost in the mix.

If you’d like to keep up with Nufin Wasted, be sure to follow me on Instagram. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy seeing more of the other sides of my work!
