Free Admission, my up-cycled denim line in studio and in print.

Huge thanks to Roll Up Magazine Issue #28 Volume 3 for printing this spread of my images in the studio.

We had a great team to pull this shoot together and without them, none of this would be possible.

This line is constructed of Levi’s I picked up from a thrift store in the Summer of 2022. 100 pairs for $1 each. I did embroider some and silk screened on others and when my hands got sore I started to pull them apart and figure out how to make other pieces of clothing out of them. I mined a heap of patterns from Pinterest, printed them, pieced them together and then started to cut and sew the denim. I broke many needles and stabbed myself many times with pins and when I was at a loss as to how to make something I had an idea for Samantha was there to help. I have so much gratitude for everyone who helped me bring this to life.

A collection of 18 outfits hit the runway on May 21, and it was a blast.

Alex in my designs.

One of the amazing things I get to do is work with people I love working with on a regular basis.

Alex and I connected a few years back and have been making magic together ever since,

For this shoot, I used my up-cycled designs and we shot in the studio.

The editorial was featured in Issue 28, Volume 16 of Selin magazine and it’s called Alex in Design.

Published in Malvie Magazine The Artist Edition Vol 608.

Each piece featured my continuous line drawings placed on a thrifted piece of clothing.

Some feature a silkscreened image that I designed by hand.

This collection is hitting the runway on May 21 and I can’t wait to see what the reaction will be.

My stickers made it to Europe!

A wonderful fan took a stack of my stickers to Europe on her vacation and put them everywhere.

Then they took photos, printed them and gave them to me. HOW COOL IS THAT?!

Thank you Marilyn, you are one of a kind.

Another T Shirt Design with The Hive Printing. Just in time for the holiday season!

So excited to have another collaboration with the Hive Print Shop for this holiday season.

‘Part of our ongoing collaboration with local artist Deanna Flinn. Her illustration of a classic boombox in blue ink looks amazing on these made in Canada – 50/50 Ring Spun Poly/Cotton mustard tees. 

Hand-screen printed and designed in Vancouver, Canada.’

A new stockist, well a return to a stockist with some new product.

Do you know what a stockist is? It took me a minute to realize what it was but it’s kinda simple. It’s a store that carries your stock and I am so happy to announce I am back at Hunter and Hare.

I ran into Mickey, one of the amazing people who started the consignment shop recently and let her know that I have been upcycling and embroidering denim.

The pairs featured below are available in store now for you to try on, they retail for $100 each. The denim is upcycled and super soft. Stop by, say Hi and try a pair on, they will feel like you never want to take them off.

Now that fall is on the horizon it might be a perfect time to pick up your new favourite pair of jeans.
