remade reloved

Hi, my name is Marie and I am obsessed with antique, vintage and old stuff! 

I love all sorts of weird and wonderful things, especially if it relates to things that are related to women's history. I try not to buy new fabric etc, and prefer to upcycle.

It is my mission to rescue and relove stuff - i.e whatever I can do to give it a new lease of life. Sometimes that might be cleaning, repairing, restoring or completely remodelling.

I collect old wedding dresses to remake or restore. 

I also have a large collection of antique sewing machines. 

I have recently decided to take up photography to document my dresses with local models, make up artists, hairdressers and other local creatives. See HERE for a gallery of shoots, and HERE for a gallery of what dresses I have available. If you want to shoot with me, use the Contact Me page. 

I also have ADHD and therefore my attention tends to wander - so you might find a wide variety of interests here.
