A year of Upcycling

A year ago, it was the launch of the first creations of revalued textile, the small reversible hats. At that time, I was unemployed and it was more a way to find myself, to do something alongside my role as a mother, without specific expectations.

Little by little, I created a project in my image and in accordance with my values ​​and my eco-responsible lifestyle and that really motivated me to believe that I had to use my know-how and my creativity to project my vision of change.

Then, I often used the word mission to describe my project because it is about promoting a more conscious fashion, and my version of it is embodied by the choice of doing Upcycling. By the simple action of reusing, I demonstrate that it is possible to revalue and be eco-responsible.

Here I am a year later, with a few moments of doubt and questioning in my baggage, sprinkled with just enough pride and willpower to believe that I had to continue. I have now completed two sessions of classes at the EEQ, I have spent countless evenings writing a business plan, I have done a series of tests for the development of patterns and I have a workshop full of fabrics, ready to be revalued.

Today I can say that I have a business, a job, and beyond all that, a passion.
