Maker Notes

Yes, I did it !I took the leap and set myself the challenge of designing a collection for the 2026 Macleay Valley Fashion Show, transforming reclaimed textiles into garments that celebrate creativity, sustainability, and craftsmanship.

Upcycled Tea-towel t-shirts by Helene Power

Each Boxy Top starts with a vintage tea towel — the kind with a little history woven into it. I cut, reconstruct, and finish each one into a relaxed and wearable top.
