I might keep one of these for myself… 👀💜

Because honestly… I’m OBSESSED with this print.

This started life as a second-hand dress, and I just couldn't let this gorgeous fabric go to waste. So I turned it into two bags and a little pouch instead. ✂️✨

Same print, completely new life.

And now I have a tiny problem… I really want to keep one. 😂

Would you have turned this dress into a bag too, or would you have kept it as a dress? 👇

I realised I never properly introduced myself so here it is, just a little bit of my world...

FYI the pictures of myself are from a couple of years ago, i haven't taken a photo of myself in forever...😂

Your makeup bag called. It wants a little more personality. 😉💄

Made from rescued fabric featuring the most fabulous little fashion illustrations, these pouches are ready to make your handbag considerably more fun.

Handmade, one by one, from fabric that deserved a second life. ♻️✨

Someone saw a stained jacket… 💛

I saw beautiful fabric that deserved another chance. ✨

And that jacket became a quilted bag and a matching pouch — both one of a kind, both given a new life. 👜

Because sometimes, all it takes is a different perspective to see the beauty in something again. ♻️

Would you have guessed these were made from a stained jacket? 👀

People saw a stained jacket… 💛

I saw beautiful fabric that deserved another chance. ✨

A little creativity, a lot of sewing, and a jacket that might otherwise have been discarded became this quilted bag and matching pouch.

The best part of upcycling? Seeing possibilities where others might see something that's reached the end of its life. ♻️

And yes… I got so caught up in making these that I forgot to film most of the process. 😂✂️

What do you think of this buttery yellow set? 💛👇

Just realised, this beauty never made it to the E-Shop. Only one available. Link in bio.

Not a bag this time, as I turned this fabric many times into accessories now was time for something else...

For the first time I use someone else's pattern and @rosyspatterns did not disapppoint!!

Definitely will be making this again. Super easy anf quick to make, also perfect for beginners!

Everyone saw a pair of jeans… 👖💙

I saw a little daisy dream. 🌼✨

This unique crossbody bag was made from a pair of jeans, transformed into something completely new with quilted denim, delicate daisies and a whole lot of love.

I love giving forgotten fabrics a second life, especially when the result is something this special. ♻️

And because it's upcycled, this exact bag is one of a kind. Once it's gone, there won't be another exactly like it. 💫

Would you wear this little daisy dream? 💙👇

Everyone saw a pair of jeans… 👖💙

I saw another chance to make my best-selling bag. 🌼

This quilted denim bag has become one of your favourites, so I made another one!

There's currently only one available online, but I'll be making more in the coming weeks. Of course, because every bag starts with rescued materials, each one has its own little story. ♻️

Old jeans, new life. And apparently, a bag you can't get enough of. 🥹

Who threw this dress away?! 👀

Honestly… I need answers. 😂

Because this print was WAY too good to have just one life.
So I took one discarded dress and turned it into 2 bags + 1 pouch. ✂️✨

Same fabulous print. Completely different lives.

And yes, I know someone is going to say:
“But I would've kept the dress!” 😂

Fair enough… but which version would you choose?

Second Hand September is ending… but thankfully, the planet didn't get the memo. 😂🌱

I don't think sustainability needs a month, a challenge or a perfect shopping list.

Sometimes it's simply choosing second-hand. Repairing something instead of replacing it. Wearing something a little longer. Or looking at a forgotten piece of fabric and thinking:

“Hmm… I could make something with that.” 👀✂️

That's pretty much how Front Row started — and it's still what I love most about it.

So here's to keeping the good habits going into October. ♻️💚

No perfection required. Just a little more thinking before we throw something away or buy something new.

Happy end of Second Hand September! ✨

T-shirt: “I'm finished.”
Me: “Absolutely not.” 😂
And that's how this colourful old tee became two little pouches with a whole new attitude. 👕✨
Because some fabrics are simply too good to let go.
