Maebh French & Fiona Van Engeland

Villiers School

Limerick County Council

This group was inspired to make an outfit that addressed the issue of fast fashion. They wanted to create a bohemian style look at decided to make a circle skirt and top from preloved materials. 

They sourced the denim for their top from a local charity shop, created their own pattern, and put the pieces together using a sewing machine. 

The skirt was made using a bedsheet and other scrap materials, and has been mostly hand sewn together. Lastly, the top is finished with a beautiful embroidered flower.
