sewing/design

I've been sewing for 3 years now i got into it because my grandma and great grand mother sewed as well so they inspired me to do so as well just by watching them in their element. i started upcycling turning old garments into something new like bikinis out of t shirts and denim scraps used as straps for the garment to jeans to pleated skirts, using pattern methods for patch work for denim tote bags and so much more but i've recently discovered that i want to start my own fashion brand from my skill because it's something i wanted to do for a long time and i feel i have the tools to do so in this present moment.
