Heyyyyy
Girly it’s been a minute!

I’ve been quite busy lately. I recently started a new job as a fabric specialist, which I am really really enjoying. With this new routine and doing my sewing night courses, I’m still trying to find my routine with studio time but we’re getting there!

I just wanted to share this though.
As some of you may remember, A big part of my brand journey stemmed from working in Svp as a warehouse assistant, which I worked for 4.5 years. I landed this job right after college and didn’t pick up the sewing machine again until COVID. Making masks sparked something again. But I really took pride in this role.
I got to sort donations daily, categorise stock and fulfil shop orders for the Dublin/greater region. I developed such a good understanding of how consumers value their clothing and their shopping patterns. Seeing clothing being donated that were still available to buy in shops from fast fashion companies, I wanted to utilise these, along with deadstock fabric and turn them into ‘new’ products to love.

When I left this role, I saw it as an opportunity to take the leap and pursue fashion and set up my own slow fashion label, which I’m so lucky I get to do to this day.

But before I left SVP, it was always a dream of mine, to see clothing from my own line, being donated and make it into the charity shop circulation. Making it a complete full circle moment in my fashion journey.

Well, my co-worker who I used to work with, sent me this photo recently. It had been donated to Svp! It gave me such a kick, it was so exciting for me to see! I remember where this fabric came from, who bought it as a gift and the alternation work that came along after words for the gift receivers own clothing. Building up that customer relationship made me feel so fulfilled.

To know enjoyment was had from this garment, and was donated for someone else to enjoy. That’s just so fecking cool to me.

And to top it all off, I text my friend and said ‘I hope you’re putting an elegance tag on that now’. We had the general tag, vintage tag and elegance tag for designer clothing. She send me back a photo and I got the elegance stamp of approval 🌸

wearing her custom made top which I worked on before her Dublin gig in 2024. This was 1/2 customs, which she wore for her Denmark gig. Always so exciting to see a custom rework, make it into her everyday wardrobe, and supporting Irish design along with repping Irish business 🌸

So impressed with this weeks class, I thought this deserved its own post.
These are the works of students from my 10 week evening class ‘Get to know your sewing machine’ at

The quality being produced is something they all should be proud of. It’s such a joy seeing their skills improve each week over a two hour class and how impressed they are with their progress.
The majority of students were complete beginners in January!
So so cool to see! 🙌🌸

Eeeee so cool to see the dress I remade for of at their New Zealand leg of their tour starting with

I remade this dress back in October 2025 for their Australian & New Zealand tour, first time back performing in over 15 years! This dress was originally designed and made by Micheala Edwards. Such a fun design to recreate and pay homage to the original.

Thank you so much to for letting me share these lovely photos

Such a cool way to end off the year and end up in another photo dump 👑

I worked for Sza last year, reworking two tops for her Dublin gig. I got so giddy when I saw the mix of tops on the hotel bed and to see the iconic Rory’s Tackle Shop laid out.

I sewed away for about 2 hours in the room, completing the top that was worn for the show that evening, and then Sza would end up wearing the Rory’s Tackle top for her Denmark gig.

The thrill of packing my sewing machine into my suitcase, to be driven to the venue with her family and team, then to watch the show backstage and be on standby incase of any outfit slip ups. It’s an experience I’ll never truly forget.

I kick my feet every time I see Sza wear her custom reworks hehe 🌸
