Hi. I'm Evy.

I've been sewing for about 15 years and crafting for longer than that! Creating has always been something that keeps my life in balance, and I absolutely love to do it!

My Etsy shop, Third-Hand Designs, is my new outlet to share my creative focus of reconstructed fashion. It came about from this love to create in conjuction with my love for the environment and unique fashion styles; you know, the ones that stand out, but still don't scream crazy.

Reconstructed fashion, my focus, can be defined as the deconstruction of used and/or vintage textiles into new designs; upcycling. Very eco-chic, I might add! My work entails lots of cutting, pinning and sewing as well as examinations. Some of my best designs have come from me spending time with a certain item, prior to deconstruction, and turning over in my hands multiple times, laying it against other items and just enabling it to speak to me in some way. All of my items are one-of-a-kind creations handmade by me, with lots of love behind them!

Enjoy the photos of my sewing excursions!
